[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 139958, member: 1632"] Gary, Has your friend tried either Bike Bandit or Dennis Kirk? A couple of years back I found Avon AM26 for the road for my Shadow which has 21"front (90/90 21) and 19" (100/90 19) rear no problem. I've been buying tires recently for my classic Triumphs so I've been on these web sites looking around a bit. I've noticed that finding a suitable 21" street tire wouldn't be an issue. What seems to be difficult is finding a 19" rear tire in either the same model of tire or same brand. Though messing about just now on Dennis Kirk I found a 90/90 21 front Avon Road Rider MK II and a 120/90 19 rear Avon Road Rider MK II. I'm not sure a 120 would fit in a RFM though. There was a 3.25X19 rear Avon Road Rider MK II but then you would have a slightly narrower rear than front. Which I'm not sure that is a good idea, either safety or appearance wise. Steven [/QUOTE]
