Dunlop 505??
Found a guy selling a new Dunlop 505 tire in 140/70/17 for 30$ . Will this fit my 83 gs1100E? It currently has a 130/90/17 on the back and it doesn't look like there's room for much more rubber back there.

Expect to see atleast 10mm extra width with the Dunlop, tire profiles differ from brand to brand ie: My 120/70-17 Pirelli is 7mm wider than my Bridgstone BT-03 of the same size. so you may potentially see another 5-10mm on top of that due to the lower profile sidewall and brand difference.

Did the eyeball comparison and determined that it won't go. That bugger is uite a bit fatter than my stock tire. Too bad, the price was right.
