Hi all!
As I may have mentioned before, I also have a couple of old RD350s, in addition to my 77 XS etc. I guess quite a few of you also have an old RD, or had one in the past, so here goes:
I'm looking at getting new tyres for the stock-74 RD, I am not able to decide between period looking Dunlop K82s or supposedly superior Bridgestone BT45s.
The K82s would be in 3.00-18 and 3.50-18, the BT45s would be 90/90-18 front and 100/90-18 or 110/80-18 rear. My rim sizes are 1.60 front and 1.85 rear, I believe.
I mostly take it easy on this old RD, but I guess I occasionally could get carried away on a twisty road, especially if my buddies bring out their CB350 twin and Moto Morini 3 1/2 cafe racers......
Please give me your opinion on these two tyre alternatives!
