E T Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 My 750f needs new tyres and there doesn't seem to be much choice, never been a fan of metzler and the last set of Avon road riders perished on front side wall. It has Bridgestone battlax which are ok but I prefer continentals I have conti motions on two of my other bikes & can get contigo's but rear is 150 so the question is will it fit and will it handle ok with wider tyre.

HDTboy Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I have Conti road attack CR2 on in a 150. Works well Quote Link to comment
E T Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Thanks for the reply. Just ordered a pair of roadattac's better spec than contigo's and got em cheaper too. 1 Quote Link to comment
Macduff Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) I’m running a new old stock Michelin Hi-Sport 150/70 on the rear of my Slabby. Seems to handle fine though I’ve never ridden a slabby prior to this. I’ve another Nos Hi-Sport to go on the front shortly. I used to love the Hi-sports back when they were current and ran a set on my old FZR1000, they did have the Nickname Hi-sides for their on off grip, though I doubt i’ll trouble the limits of adhesion these days given my lack of talent ran out years ago. Ps I unnerstan the risks of running fekking old tyres, and have plans in hand to source a 2nd pair of wheels for more up to date rubber over the winter.

It's 3.50 wide, there's a guy not far from me breaking a 750f if you want I could find out if he has front wheel. Quote Link to comment
Macduff Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Cheers for checking, I'm after the wider jap import rear, and already have a front sorted. Quote Link to comment
E T Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 The bike that's being broken is a jap import ! Quote Link to comment

Works well I run these too, although I had issuses getting a new rear (none in stock in the country at the time) - Have a Bridgey BT090 on the back now, might swap to BT016SS next because they don't do a BT090 front in 18" Quote Link to comment

E T Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'm away to a rally this weekend but I will get in touch with guy who's breaking bike on monday Quote Link to comment
gs7_11 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I've got a pair of BT016's on mine (1100G wheels, 150-18 rear) and I think they're great. Quote Link to comment
Simbec1863 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Run a 150 on mine no issues on the road or on track, and in the old days used to run a 170 with no problems either apart from sharpening the steering a little Quote Link to comment

It looks like my winter wheels job is now started as I've located a pair of 1988 enkei 1100J 3 spoke 18"s and an earlier 1100G/H rear if I want to stay original looking. Cheers for the offer anyways ET but my wheel collection is now up and running. Edited October 23, 2017 by Macduff Quote Link to comment
