OK, so 3.00 all around it is. If only I could find some Dunlops in that size. I guess it's the Hiedenaus until then.

Tyres for CB77 Superhawk

I searched around for some answers, but none are suitable for my build. I'm the proud new father of a '63 CB77 Superhawk. It comes in boxes and will be quite the project. My question is, how should this setup handle? 1.85-18 rim wearing 90/90 or 3.50 front and rear. Will this clear the front suspens...
