New rubber
Replaced the humongous 180/120 combination in this bike to see if it alleviates the bus like feeling it has going down the road. New rubber is Bridgestone Bt003rs in 1 160/110 combo. After I finish up cycling 50miles today I'm going for a spin. Heck, if nothing else that skinny rear looks like it belongs there.

Probably be a lot more fun in the twisties.

Re: New rubber
Twisties, that's all we have around here but still have to ride with lot's of restraint. Line of sight is lousy, huge trees & unforgiving guardrails. The tires really helped turn in and I know there more capable than myself. Temp today was quite a bit cooler than it has been and the bike seemed a bit lean a 1/2 throttle. Bought new manifolds and TDR reeds. When I bought the tires I also purchased a new helmet and some boots. track days are just around the corner.

Re: New rubber
Mr Kane, do you know if that AirTech bodywork will fit on the '86-'90 Canadian RZs?

Re: New rubber
Very nice. Thank you. How about a front shot and a front 3/4 view?
The only issue I think would be the tail piece if anything. I'll give them a shout. Thanks again. Your bike looks great. I hope they can give me a clear windscreen. That's on my wish list.

Re: New rubber
i put a 140/70 bt003 rs on my bike other other day
would say its the biggest tyre you will fit in the stock swing arm / about 5mm of room untill i have chain problems and about 7mm of room in the swinger
but the guy i got it from said it wont last very long . he said alot of guys use them for the track

Re: New rubber
yeah, those are pretty sticky tires. i used to use the R version for track days. don't lean too much if you get caught in the rain...
Re: New rubber
Your bike looks fantastic. I'm going to jump all over that glass, and order a set. That's the look I want and the riding position too. Thanks for the additional pics!!!

Re: New rubber
It's quite comfortable for the type of riding I do.
