Thank you for your opinion :) I will keep that in mind Still won't be able to ride it much as both carburetors need to be changed :/

And that may exactly be the reason I chose this set of tires. Why bother about function so much when it is not necessary? Why not focus on the aesthetics then?

I agree with what you have stated. However, "how a motorcycle is designed to work" and "how functioning the bike is" are two very subjective statements. Doesn't it all depend on the use and application? After all if I mostly intend to cruise at 80kmh in densly populated roads, wouldn't the tires...

Or teazer are you implying that all "true" cafe bikes and riders should all be going 160kmh and pushing the limits? Maybe Wrenchmonkees do not know what they are doing too?

I agree with notlob. One cannot just say this tire does not work and should not be used. It all depends on the purpose and use. If you have read everything I wrote in the previous post, you would have to agree that the tires will do just fine. It will not be possible for me to go any faster...

Yeah it's true that these tires will never be used in cafe racing. In terms of function I agree that they are quite useless. However, given the fact that I will probably be riding this bike only once a week (Sunday), and also the extremely bad road surfaces / potholes / speed bumps / very bad...

Glad you like the bike :) The color is bronze/brownish and yes it is powerdercoated. Weather is nice tonight I am very much tempted to ride around for fun :p

My 1982 Honda GL500 Silverwing Before: After: Enjoy :)

I try to avoid riding when (and after) it rains so still no idea how it performs on wet surfaces. Given that my tire covers are so small I wouldn't want to even try :p Yes I relocated the battery. It's hidden under the swingarm.

Thank you :) I used Firestone Deluxe Champions In my opinion one of the best for cafe racers as the groves look damn classic
