OK so Ive  been searching for a couple days an i cant find what im looking for im trying to figure out what tires work the best on a 750 k4 im looking for a modern looking tire

You find a tire to fit your rim and you're guaranteed to find somebody here who will recommend it. 

Take a look on americanmototire.com.  They have a broad range of tires and good pictures to go along with them to help you find one that has the look you want.

thank you those pics are better ive been really torn between the pirelli route 66's or the sport demon i really like the sport demons but im unsure how the bike will like them

For modern tires, I've seen a number of guys using Kenda's or Maxxus. For my money, nothing better than Metzler. That said, I just put a set of Dunlop K70s on my 73 750.

I'm using Metzlers, no complaints here.

As long as you get the correct size and match the front and rear I'm sure your bike will be just fine with them.  Don't be tempted to go much larger than stock without also changing rime sizes because it pinches the sidewalls in and deforms the shape of the tire.

Dunlop 404's.. unless your a boy racer....

Anything but Cheng Shin (I think it's Korean for suicide wish)

Damn, you guys are spoilt for tyres/prices... ....We pay probably 50% more for some of those choices!

Regardless, I use Avon Roadriders. Perform well and look good to...

gday mate!i run a bridgestone bt45 on the front,and a bridgestone spit fire on the rear of my 500,,nice modern tyre,,not expensive but still quality,dont try and fit a wider tyre on the rear rim for looks.,not a 750 but the same kettle of fish,,just old.

if you are on a budget Kenda Challengers decent tires decent price.

If you like riding twisty roads and leaning over, want stability in the rain or on grooved roads, decent mileage then get the Bridgestone BT-45s  - as shown on my K4 (old tire on the bike is a 120 -squared off). 110/90/19 on the rear. Important point is to match front/rear as Gordon already said.



BT-45s front/rear


This topic of tires has been covered so often it should be a FAQ or sticky.
