I need radials on my 1100

I've spent a lot of time looking, but it is slim pickins. Am thinking the Michelin Anakees may be a posibility. http://www.mawonline.com/michelin.htm

Stock front tire size on my 85 1150 is 120/80/16. I have not found a radial front tire in that size anywhere. I use a Metzeler 33 on the front and am on my 4th Dunlop D205 140/80/17 radial on the rear. Rain or shine, all conditions and speeds, I have had no problems at all with those two tires together. Handling is normal.

Nah we got 16" fronts too, I have read Dink telling about a different diameter rear rim for the Ozzies I think.

Earl do they still make a radial for the 1150 front wheel and if so what brand and model?

Just for the record I think the 84 1150 has the same width REAR rim as your 83 1100e. In 85 the 1150 went to the 3.5 inch wide rear to fit the 140 tire.

Looks like the first generation GSXR may have had the smaller front axle like the GS uses.

Plus an 18 front and 18 rear will quicken your steering. It'll feel like it's on rails, but not twitchy like some newer bikes...

I believe you're correct that the 84 1150 used the narrower 3" rear rim as opposed to the 3.5" on the 85 model. Stock rear tire size for the 85 1150 is 130/90/17. My 140 rear is one step oversize.
