Chris-freckle:
I have fitted a part of dunlop tt100's on mine, it seems this is not the way forward as they are not rekoned good but I am really pleased with them.

Bryanj:
TT100's were the best tyre available when the bike was current

I believe that the modern version of the TT100 is called K82, very similar tread pattern to the Tt100 but made with modern compound, I dug my thumbnail into one and the compound seemed very soft, great for grip but maybe they won't last too long on the back?, road riders are good tyres and reasonably priced.
PS fit new inner tubes as a matter of course, your life depends on them just as much as the tyre, I've seen badly rusted valve seats on old inner tubes, not worth risking re-using them.

I always fit TT100's to all of the old bikes at first tyre change. Rears on the CB500 last me around 4,500 - 5,000 miles (similar life on a Benelli 750/6 that I also have them on and the 750K6 that I owned for some years). The front tyre never seems to wear out, or lose its profile.

As we did in the 1970's, I fit an oversize (4.10) to the front of them all and a 4.10 to the rear of the 500, a 4.25 to the other bikes.

From choice, I wouldn't fit anything else!)
