1.85x19 rim size. What bike is this from?
« on: December 22, 2009, 10:50:05 PM »
This is on my 78 cb750. Resources say the orig. was a 3.25x19. is this correct? I have the 1.85x19 on there now. I think i read somewhere that size was used on th cb500's but cant be sure. Any issues with running this size rim on a 750 if it did come from a 500?

Whatever bike it is from, that is a slim rim.

3.25X19" is likely your tire size..1.85X19" would be your stock front rim size..

Kevin is correct, CB750 (and 500/550) rims were 1.85 x 19 front, and 2.15 x 18 rear. Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
