    GS1100G rear tire

    Need a quick response on this one if you please. GS1100GZ. Had a Dunlop Elite 130/90X17 on the back. Bought a Cheng Shin Hi Max 130/90X17. I'm in the basement, I've got the old tire off and am going to clean the rim but the new Hi Max looks physically wider than the Dunlop I took off. Has anyone out there put a 130/90X17 Hi Max on the back of an 82 850 or 1100G and did you encounter any interference issues with the rear brake arm or swing arm?
    Thanks.

      I have a Cheng Shin Hi Max 130/90-17 on the rear of my 1984 GS1100GK. No rubbing issues at all, and it fits perfectly, the way it should.

      The GK has the same swingarm and setup as the 1100G. So go for it.

      The wheel on which this tire is installed is one meant for an old 79 GS850G I used to have. The stock 16" wheel and this 17-incher alternate duties on the GK. No problems at all.

        Thanks Grandpa.
        All done and it looks fine. I'm getting closer and closer to taking the rat bike down the road.\\/
