Front and rear rim and tire question
« on: April 28, 2024, 05:18:28 PM »
Hello, I'm building a cafe racer using a 1982 honda cb650 and I want to know if I can use a 19" rim at the rear to match the front one. My worry is it's going to hit the top of the frame or its going to look off has anyone done this I would love some feedback. Thank you all

What will you use for a tire?  Motocross knobby is all I have seen available for a rear 19"...illegal on pavement and basically impossible to ride.

19" Avon Roadriders are front and rear use. Dunlop TT100s, too. I think Bridgestone do a 19" front and rear, might be BT046, but not sure on that.
