I found the two Avon tires That fit the 3.25V19 and 4.00V18 Suzuki Speck. How do these thin tires handle compared to the ones that will fit the cast wheels? It's looking like Shinko is out unless I stay with the Wheels I have, and the more I think about it the more attractive the current wheels are looking.'78 GS1000E, Dyna-S ignition, Dyna Green Coils, K&N pods, Delkevic SS 4-1 exhaust, Dynojet Stage 3 jet kit, Russell SS Brake Lines, Progressive suspension, Compu-Fire series Regulator 55402 and Advmonster cree LED headlight conversion.

That's why I'm going back to the stock sizes.
I can't say how they will handle, I haven't bought them as yet. But, skinny tires??? You can drag the pegs and center stand, how much more handling do you want?
IMHO, the wire wheel bikes handle better than the Es with the wider rear tire. The front tires are the same size.1978 GS 1000 (since new)

Well that clears up a lot of things, according to the Avon data sheet, you are using one size oversize on front and rear. I am going to use the wheels I have with Shinko tires when these wear out, and do the wire wheels the next tire change. It will give me more time to clean them up properly.'78 GS1000E, Dyna-S ignition, Dyna Green Coils, K&N pods, Delkevic SS 4-1 exhaust, Dynojet Stage 3 jet kit, Russell SS Brake Lines, Progressive suspension, Compu-Fire series Regulator 55402 and Advmonster cree LED headlight conversion.
