So need economical and best for my $$$ need some ideas on brands. I hear oem is the way to go. What would be the oe. Hmmnm thanx

 

Bridgestone BT-045.

 

Stock sizes? ???? I was just reading that if I wanted a wider rear buy a rear rim off a 92 cbr 600

first off you don't just "buy a rim" it has some stuff that needs to be done..... but if you are looking for tires like the title to your thread says go with the BT-45V front and back I have a set on my 86 and they are great tires pretty sticky, and worth the money...IF I haven't done the conversion by next winter. these will be the tires I will get again.... I got mine at Motorcycle superstore.... they will even have the tires delivered to a shop that will install the tires for you (providing they are on board with MSS)

good luck

 

I also just put a set of Bridgestone BT-45's on my 750. Good tire for the price.

 

The stock rims are 2.5x16" front and 3.5x18" rear, IIRC.
