MrDavo:


I'm sorry to get picky about my own bike, but what spoils it for me are the just too modern looking Avon Roadriders, which is a shame, because I used to classic race on similar tyres, and they are totally trustworthy in all conditions. However, my aim is to get the bike to what to what you'd get if you went into the dealer and said 'I'll have the blue one.'

I think what I need are these tyres on a 'travel set' of less blingy wheels, especialy for the Classic TT (booked the ferry now, via Liverpool, Friday to Wednesday). I'm off to look on eBay for wheels. Will only K1 hubs fit?

What tyres could I get for these wheels, that look like the originals, but don't behave in the wet like the Japanese tyres of the 1970's ?  :o

Nobody seemed to keep them on for very long.

Tomb:
I like the Dunlop K82 for the classic look, and grip as good as the Roadriders, just watch for speed ratings.

MarkCR750:
They look just like the old TT100's and are a very soft compound so grip isn't an issue, good choice.

MrDavo:
No I'm not after the best tyre, I'm after ones that look like the tyres Honda would have fitted.. They may well have been Bridgestones, tried them, fell off....

Trigger:
Have not got a clue what Honda fitted, but I use Avon AM6 and AM7 and have never fallen off ;D
