Topic: New member in need of help!

Hey everyone,
I've been riding for several years and finally bit the bullet and bought a project bike.  I do not currently own a bike and am new to the sport.  I purchased an 81 CB650C to use as my first scrambler/cafe racer project and have run into an issue.  The bike came with nicely powder coated comstar's...with a 16" rear wheel.  I am having a terrible time locating any 16" dual sport style tires that match with the 19" front.  Anyone have any suggestions? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

First off, welcome.  I dont have any bikes with dual sport tires [yet] but it might help if we knew what you had on the front!

The front is another comstar 19”. I believe the tires are 100/90-19. I cannot find a matching pair for the life of me!!!

Welcome from NE MN,

I have been running a 70/30 tire from Dunlop K70.  It does well on gravel roads.  Not the 60/40 or the 50/50 but if you don't go mudding works well.
