    New Michelin Power 2CT on a set of restored F2 wheels. Easy-peasy swap over, just had to move the front rotors to the new wheel.

    Looks great, Capt!

    Are "F2" wheels the same as "CBR"?

    That one on the right's tail fairing is one of those that also incorporates the battery/side cover. Is that one of the Cobalt racing/Charles Crites or Air Tech or something else?

    Nice photo!

    The '87 I brought up from South Florida has one on its rear wheel.

    And this '87 I bought back in 2018 both front and back wheels......it's sitting on my lift table right now waiting for me to finish it's restoration.

    Thanks - appreciate the info. Love learning new things here!

    So the rear wheel would be the 17" x 4.5", right? And ideally, you'd want both front and rear to be the 17" - not just 17" in front and 18" in back, right?

    But at least having the 17" in front (and leaving the rear at 18") would be an improvement over the factory 16" in front (with 18" rear)?

    Is that the idea here?
