    100/90-16 hard to find, what is replacement 1983GS750E/ES

    Manual says -

    100/90-16 54H front
    120/90-17 64H rear

    what is the current thinking for this front tire since the original size is hard to find.

    2 -
    Rear tire - go winder?
    1981 GS750L - Owned since 1990 when graduated high school and since have been discovering all the things not disclosed by seller.
    1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
    1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice

    Pirelli Sport Demon, Bridgestone BT45, and Metzeler Lasertec are all offered in 100/90-16. I'm sure there are others too.

      Thanks for the reply and link.

      I was thinking Motorcycle superstore which yielded none (and was thinking Shinko which I got for the 81GS750L)

      From teh list you provided, which have people liked?
      Here is the list sorted by price- http://www.americanmototire.com/cata...e236432e6fb1df
