3.25-16 is the orig size for both front and back (rib front and block back)

Virtually impossible to find the skinny WW's, .....hard to find the 3.25's, but there are some out there,.......easier to find 3.50 or 100/90 which will work.

Yes, sorry. I don't know what I was thinking.

Retro bikes is a very cool place , I think that I could find most the stuff we need right there.
thanks conbs

That's a good looking tire WHonda ,the bike too, what size are they and did you get them through J& P ?

I can't find 3.25 or 3.50 on their site

Thanks Brewsky, when you say (rib front and block back) are they two different tread styles ?

I stock 3 different tire options for the Dream but I am currently out of the 3.25x16.

They were originally...you already have a "block" example on the back,......can't really make out the front picture though. The universals will work fine though, front or rear.

PS, don't throw the old narrow WW's away, ebay them!

Thanks brewsky,

I don't think that anyone is going to want these dry rotted old things , I'm not sure if I can even get them off with out tearing them up.
But if you think that they are worth preserving then I try my best to be careful.

Haven't done much to the bike lately other than find out that the oil drain plug is missing .

Next plan is to dissolve the rust in the tank , hook up the carb with some fresh lines, filter and see if I can't get her to fire up.
