Good to have you back on deck vonmighty!
There may be a relatively straightforward swap available. I'm looking for some for my bike, but so far I only have possibilities.
Will post when I have anything definite.
I can highly recommend using Michelin M45 tyres in the stock sizes; good handling, good grip, and good wear.

Hello me dears.
Sort of on a rim/wheel subject-when I was but young and doing loads of cycling we would use a clever little thingy mounted on the brake bridges to flick off road debris and so prevent punctures. Flint catchers they were called and they certainly worked-there was nothing like coming home and unstitching your "tubs", finding and fixing a puncture and stitching it all back together again. Which was immense fun.
Was wondering if there is something similar for motorcycles, probably relying more on magnets to catch ferrous nasties before they damage the tyre (as motorcycle treads are deeper than cycle ones which only needed a very near fit to flick stuff away).
Apologies for steering thread a little but any thoughts would be most useful as I have just fixed second puncture of the summer. Grrr etc.
Cheers.
Rich.

Er... should have also added that I am always partial to a well placed Dead Kennedys quote!

Has anyone found a replacement rim as of yet? I'm planning on replacing the tyres and thought it best to replace the whole wheel if possible (so it can be balanced at the same time)...

Hello everybody,
A while back I found a picture of an Ace with different rims. Pretty cool. I only remembered the picture when I damaged my own rims and was looking to replace them. Done some research and i belief these rims are from a Honda MBX. I hope this helps.
