    hi guys, time for some new skins on my '83 1100 E.
    i think i will put on some pirelli sport demons, the rear in 130/90-17.
    my questioin is what size front is best, 100 or 110. thanks for any responses!

    At least on my 850 I prefer the 100/19

      I have a 110/90 metzeler on the 850. The rim will take it ok and it looks good. Not good to go oversize on the back though. Tyre gets squeezed and messes up the profile.

        I have an 82 GS1100EZ and use Bridgestone Battlax BT-45 sport touring tires, 100/90 19 in front and a 140/80 17 in the rear and get great mileage, handling and control.

          As I said I like the 100. I currently have a 110 but I dropped the forks down as much as I could without hitting the bars. That helped make up the difference
