    86 Honda vfr frontend on 78 GS1000

    Hello;
    A 78 GS1000 I picked up last year has a 1986 Honda VFR700 front end installed by the PO. I'm going to run it as is for the summer and hope to be a project next winter. It has a 16" front wheel that I plan to change for a 17" off a CBR600. Can I run a 130 tire on the 2.5 x 17 rim. I also thought of putting in heavier single rate springs. I don't want to invest too much into a setup I am going to replace soon. Any inexpensive suggestions about the Honda front end are appreciated.

    120 is as big as you should go, Woody.
    I have a couple CBR wheels in use and have 120/70-17 Michelin Power Pilot rubber.
