[QUOTE="donrapide, post: 7015, member: 120"] Re: What size, is it for a solo? I've been using a 21" WM1 rim with originally Avon Speedmaster 21x3.00 tyres, which still seem to be available. Not being keen on the milage from these I'm currently running a Pirelli 80x90x21 which seems to be a very good tyre. My tyre supplier, ex Speedway and now Sand Racer, tells me it is a Harley fitement so it has excellent speed and load ratings. On my post war twin I have used, first 20", then 21" and finally 19" with a 3.60 section. (Due to availability over the years) The best for handling was the 21", then 20" and the very worst was the 19"x3.60. The 19" spoilt the steering and the handling. [/QUOTE]
