Tire width varies widely by manufacturer. I measured a Metzeler ME880 at over 105 mm, a Bridgestone Spitfire at 100 mm, a Pireli and a Dunlop at just over 90 mm. These were all 100/90-19 tires.

FWIW, I’m quicker in the turns on the smaller tires.
 
My 3.25 X 19 Conti Go is 3 3/4" wide. I think it fits the fender well....350s are too wide_IMO

Hey kawabunga. Those carbs and manifolds look familiar. Good to see their working out for you. Bike looks great!:thumbsup:

They’re working out well so far! Some fine tuning and I think they’ll be solid.

I’m not a fan of how stiff the throttle is so I’m looking for some softer slide springs. Anybody know where I could source those?
 
Here's mine! Picked it up from Angus67 awhile back! I haven't done anything to it yet but I plan on going full chop in the future!

Nice bike SAFU. I love the wheels and seat. Your holes in your drilled rotor look really big though. The rule of thumb i've always heard is for the holes not to be any bigger than the width of the rotor, and you've got some pretty thin spots between the holes. How well is it functioning for you?
