Sport tire for a stock CB750K2
« on: June 09, 2005, 08:01:52 AM »
Can someone point me in the direction of a tire that would fit a stock CB750K2 that has a modern looking sport tire design/treadpattern?  I see a lot of cafe racer images online with these tires and I think they look sharp, but I havn't been able to track them down.  Thanks!

Thanks!  Just curious, I have looked at the wheels and tires faq before but say nothing about sporty tires.  Am I missing something?  Is there a different FAQ you are talking about?
Thanks again.

Those are the strangest looking michelins I've ever seen  ;) Did you mean 'there are michelins...'?

Chrometank, if you say they are michelins I believe you, but I would bet one testicle that it is a Bridgestone...   ;D
