Tyre Size Question

Hi,

just a quick query really, my VFR750 FH needs a new rear tyre, the front having been replaced around 400miles ago with a BT45 110/90V, the rear currently is a 130/80V BT45 as well.


However is there any benefit to running a slightly wider rear say a 140/80 ? or should i just stick with the manufacturers sizes ?


thanks for all help

 

I would stick to stock unless you want to swap rims

 

nope dont want to swap rims so ill stick as is then


further question but does anyone know the handlebar sizes for these bikes ? i need new grips and bar ends but not sure what size im looking for, this would normally be a go outside and measure them job however the bikes garaged 30 miles away

 

if you are talking just the grip they are all the same size and after market bar ends are a universal fit as well.
on grips you want open end for street bike - dirt bike grips are closed ends cause they do not have bar ends.

 

thanks Rider now to purchase the bits and get fitting them

Im also getting a new screen butt am hinking of going for one of those flip up jobbies rather than a standard one ahs anyone had any experience or got any recommendations ?

 

I have ZG double bubble better for my neck ( car accident ) then stock one but still very noisy.
ck the threads there are a ton of them some with pic to compare sizes.

 

mephisto, check out this website. They have screens for the 86-87 bikes as well.
