Tire size conversion
wrk2ride_ride2wrk:
Yeah actually I would have liked more choices, but here in Jpn the range of imported tires / tubeless & in our wheel sizes is very limited.
While on the DP point, I'm now at 15w fork oil & 65mm spacers & 8lb of air in my forks. My rear shocks not sure what they're off, but they're working well.
I guess all in on weight, me, gas, and the stuff I tote its about 95-100 kgs.
Last ride was about 300klms on twisties & about 6 hours all terrain, didnt bottom out once, bike was well planted all day.
(The ride before that at 12w an 25mm & 8lb, I bottomed out all through and finally blew out the seals)
This is what I've settled on, gives me good rebound on the pot holes / rough stuff & is still good on the twisties.
Looking forward to your tire report and some pics fitted

I will post up some pictures when I get them mounted up & thanks for the inspiration, R2WW2R!👍

Definitely post some pictures lefty. I probably posted my most recent tire size type question in the wrong section, but have a similar question about largest size, primarily more for the front to run more of any "equal" size look, function with DP tires. I'm looking at going up a size on the front to a 110/80/19 or something similar for my latest modified FT I'm finishing up designed to run some light, improved gravel roads in the desert.
Lefty:
Wow, this is a little difficult!
I'm searching for 120/80-18 and 100/90-19 Karoo3's & have found one place online that has a rear in that size, but I'm not seeing the front in the size I specified(thank you, R2WW2R!)- I'm going to stop in at a Guzzi dealer tomorrow who's a Metzeler dealer & see if they can help me.
Seaking of Moto Guzzi, they've got some wild models out there! The Griso 8v has a wild looking stock exhaust....
Lefty:
Johnnymott, I like the look of a bigger front tire also, they look really cool on the older bikes, but Im not so sure about running a no fender set up on mine. I'm interested to see what you come up with.
