Cafe tires

[davomoto]

Anyone have a sugestion for good light sticky tires for my CB77 Cafe bike? WM2 front rim, WM3 rear. I'm thinking 90/90 front, and 100/90 rear

I've been a Dunlop K82 (TT100 Lightweights) convert for a couple of years now, but you could contact Wheelhouse Tyres in Birmingham, UK for advice and options. www.wheelhousetyres.com for the full skinny.

I like the red/black combo, btw.

Bill, thanks for the interest in the bike ! I puchased Avon Road Rider tires. Really nice tread pattern but they are kinda heavy. About 12lbs rear, and 10Lbs front. I drilled the hubs, and laced up Boranni rims, WM2 front, and WM3 rear, with Buchanonn stainless steel spokes and nipples. It has a CYB top clamp with clip on bars, and a Honda Minitrail headlight. Battery box and fork lock bracket were ground off of frame, wiring harness minimalized, no electric starter. I finally got all of the pieces to do my 520 chain conversion, as this will lighten up drive train, and less rolling resistance. It is a runner and rider, but is still being upgraded as I find parts. I'm still looking for good rear shocks, but man are they spendy! Her's some more pics, and I'd love to hear some comments and suggestions.

Thing looks pretty sneeky! I think small red fenders, would look nice.
