    110/90 on a GS750B

    I mistakenly bought a Shinko 712, 110/90 x 19" for the front of my '77 GS 750 instead of a 100/90 as it should have been. Didn't realize it until I had it mounted and found it wouldn't fit inside the fender.

    Anyway, I have it on there now (with no fender). Will that tire size difference cause any handling issues? I can't try it out now because of wintery weather. If not, are there any fender options that would work. Or should I just bite the bullet and order the right tire.

    Comments, opinions?

    Order the right tire, the 100/90 is about as max as you should (or I would) go. I ran a 110 before, barely fit and slowed down my turning. I'm pretty sure you can sell your 110/90 here to someone.
