I do - it was driven on a dirt road!

I've always had 600 bars on mine.




Easo

I too believe that 600's are a little small for anything but an 80". I have sourced some 650's (which were an option) which will be going on my 88".

I currently run 205's, which while technically too wide for the 5" rims, do make it ride nicely. These, incidentally, are near enough the same rolling diameter as 650's.

Yeah - I sorta wish I'd been able to track down some 6.50s, but I came across these 6.00s.

Can I ask what money you paid for your 6.50s? I found some a year or so ago, but they were very expensive.

I dunno - I reckon the 6 X 16 looks absolutely perfect on a 86 - just look at easo's - perfect. And that's lucky for me I guess - cos that's what I've got. And you're right, Spud - they do give it that old timer look. Mine came with larger tyres - I can't remember the size - they were bigger than 650 - andt they rubbed at full lock.

My 6 X 16s were $150.00 each - with tube, fitted. I'm happy.

PS - good to see the mudflaps too, easo!

I didn't see those - I meant the back ones - I got some friendly stick for adding mine!
