Should suit other early GSX, GS's and other brands etc.

Cheers

Yes..... thanks Chalk.
I should edit it to say "should suit any early bike with 18 and 16 inch rims" - but I wont coz I'm lazy and people should know what rim sizes they have!:D

Theyre correct for a GPz900R

Twinmatch has got a 750 pop-up headlight Kat....which ran the same tyres as the 1100EF and 750EF/ESD (owned both of em). And probably the same as the GPZ9 (all had 16" fronts).

And what are you smokin tonight Chalky? - early GSX's never ran a 16 inch rear...unless you're thinking of those homo US cruiser "L" models......[xx(]

ET's did. Mainly US but they still came with them, so did NZ, and the first shipments of GSX11ET's into Australia, they also had the smaller American tank. The 17" rear wheel was bought in for race distance (also the larger tank) as the GSX11 was a gas guzzler resulting in too frequent fuel stops.

And Kat 750 Pop-up, EF and ESD had 16" fronts, but the 17" rear, not 18"

And yes I have been smoking all sorts, but don't matter I'M RIGHT

Oh dear......

Well, I had an 83 750EF and an 84 1100EFE and they both had 16 fronts and 18 rears.....

And the pop-up Kat was the same.

I think you'll find the Kats and EF's with the 19 fronts had 17 rears.

Don't worry - I feel your pain Chalky....[V]

Funny my last EFE (about 2 years ago) had a 17" rear

And both the Haynes and Factory manuals state it as being 17" rear, I can scan'em for you if you want?





:D Fuck I'm good.

OK - you got me on the 16 front / 18 rear. I was smoking some good stuff back then....;)

But you need to give me some of what you're smokin now if you still reckon they ever used 16 rears...:D

Yeah, you're trippin again Chalky... no GSX ET or EFE had 16" rears.
2.15 x 18 or 2.50 x 17. [^]
Get a fucking bike too :(
22-09-2007, 11:04 PM
None of them ever had an 18". And I never said the EFE had a 16" rear, I said 17" dick.

Which model had 18" rear? I think your mixing the 750 Kat (the real one) with the 1100

For anyone who is remotely interested - my popup kat has factory rims which are 18 inch rear and 16 inch front. My owners manual says so, my tyre retailer says so, the tyre manufacturers also say so, suzuki cycles website says so, and the two tri spoke alloy rims with that lurvely gold anodising from the mid 80's that are leaning up against my wall,say so too!!:D

Cheers TM
P.S. Geez, i thought with 12 responses at least one of them might wanna buy a tyre!!!!!
22-09-2007, 11:50 PM
Yeah, 750's have 18", but not 11's
