Dunlop sell "old fashioned" sizes in their "Classic" range. Look on their website.

I use Avon Roadrunners on my 500, they look skinny compared to modern bikes but fit the rims and (nearly) match the old sizes.

Search this site for "tyres" or "Tires" and check the FAQs.  It's all in here somewhere...

Whadya mean by a valve job - if its just setting valves download the manual in the FAQ section which explains the process.

My local cycle shop put IRC tires on my CB350F. Grand High Speed GS-11 3.50x18 on the rear and NR-21 3.00x18 on the front. They may also sell a 4.00 version but my fender sticker calls for 3.50x18 for the rear. The mechanic said that Honda used IRC as an OEM tire for awhile. They are a retro looking tire if that is what you want. Two tires, mounted and balanced came to about $120.00.
