Brian, use the search function, type in CB77 tires, click on all terms, and read up. There are almost as many opinions as there are members.

I put a pair of Avon Road Runner tires on my CB77 and have been very pleased with this choice of a modern tire. They plant a solid footprint and inspire confidence for very spirited back road runs--- just remember that you only have two wheels!

I've read alot of good stuff about the RoadRunner R2. The only bad thing I've noticed is that the R2 is not DOT. I don't know about the regular RoadRunner. I have to get new tires for my current project, and I may get those as well. They are a little on the expensive side though, but you really don't wanna skimp on tires.

My mistake. I have Roadrider tires 90/90 front, 100/90 f/r and these were reasonably priced at less than $70 each.

You should post a pic. I'd love to see what they look like on a cb77.

Here are a couple of pictures taken today and a few days ago. BTW this is the seat that I will make a cover for. Also a rear shot of the pipes you like.
