K0 owners/builders, what tires are you using?
« on: March 18, 2010, 07:28:58 PM »
I have TT100's on my K1's which are right for the era but was considering going to more of a stock set up. Could you please tell me what tires you've found to be the most like stock? And where you bought them if you bought them online? Tires in Canada are about twice the cost of the ones in the US.  :o.
Thanks,
Cliff.

Dunlop F11 front and K70 rear. I have a thread around here somewhere that has several great suggestions.

Thanks Simpson. While I have your attention, what replacement spokes did you use? original Honda, very expensive here, or aftermarket reproductions?

That is the K4 orange I am working on, but the same tires that are on my KO. Glad to see you are making good progress. You will love that KO with all your heart!!!  ;D

Well actually, I haven't done the rims yet. Next winter will be a complete tear down of the wheels to replace the bearings, spokes with Honda genuine parts and chrome the rims. Due to cost, I have to break it down in several projects over a few years.
