Metzeler ME11-ME77 Classic
JamesH:
The bike is completely original & unrestored believe it or not. Original engine finish & cover finish. It's a US bike obviously.
beemsquar:
well it looks beautiful and I love that orange!
I just checked and they don't do the contis in 90/90/18 and 100/90/18 :'(
So it's still the Metzelers or dunlop K82's. Noelia, what sizes are you running? I can't find the sizes above in that tyre either.
beemsquar:
Bryanj, what size did you run in these tyres?
I am struggling to find anyone who will supply and fit a 90/90/18 front and I kind find a 100/90/18 rear for my bike.
The closest I have got is a 90/90/18 ME11 for the front and a 3.50 ME77 for the rear, is this what you used?

With a classic bike, you are making the classic mistake of using a modern tyre size for an old style tyre. Look up 3.00-18 for the front on a CB400 and 3,50-18 for the rear.
Found a 90/90-18 >>http://www.oponeo.co.uk/moto-tyre-details/metzeler-perfect-me-11-90-90-18-51-h-front-tl-m-c/?origin=prodlisting&gclid=CNOoxvDFvcgCFdXNGwodO_AGdg
Or a K82 >>http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Product.do?method=view&n=5769&g=301534&p=301576&d=124&c=4&l=2&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Base&utm_campaign=Classic%20/%20Commuter%20Tyres&gclid=CKeMlNfGvcgCFYgKwwodFO0Etg
Bryanj:
I used them on a 500 which has a 19 inch front wheel but as Trigger said look for the real sizes not the metric ones
