    Yamaha LS2 Tire Sizing Help

    That converter was much better than the ones I found, thanks. Good call on looking for moped/scooter tires. I didn't want to go so cheap as to be buying a brand I've never heard of before, I found some Michelin scooter tires that I think will fit. I might have to take my front fender off but...

    Yamaha LS2 Tire Sizing Help

    Thanks for the help, PJ. Both of the rims show 140x18 on them. The rear tire says 1.75-18 on it and the front says 1.5-18. I know I have tubed tires but my question is: can I throw a tube in a tubeless tire and call it a day or am I looking for a specific tubed tire? I seem to be having a lot...

    Yamaha LS2 Tire Sizing Help

    Hello all, I'm looking for some help picking out tires for my 1972 Yamaha LS2. The rear tire says its a 2.74x18 which I'm pretty sure is an 80/90 in metric. My question is, how big can I/should I go when buying new tires? I was thinking a 100/90 in the back and a 90/90 in the front OR a 90/90...

    1972 Yamaha LS2 cafe build

    Thanks man. I can't wait to fire it up. I youtube'd a couple of these things running and it sounds a little tinny but hopefully I can rectify that with some different expansion chambers. Sounds awesome in the higher revs.

    1972 Yamaha LS2 cafe build

    The story of how I came for a single, and left with a twin.. So I headed out to Hale, Michigan yesterday to pick up a 1974 Honda CB100 I found on craigslist. My buddy's truck gassed up, directions in hand, we hit the road. After a two hour drive we arrive and the usual bike banter occurs and...

    I don't think I have. I was a geology major but I switched to outdoor rec. with a geology minor.

    That's awesome, what do you teach? Also thanks so much for the info, I'll be sure to check out that place on Mission. I heard about Rick's through a friend, can't wait to finally get out there.

    Yeah I figured an OEM one would be a hard find, thought I'd ask just in case. I did mean side panels, yeah (my friends have always called them airbox covers so that's what I know them as). I saw some covers on ebay but no tanks, did find a 175 tank though. I'll probably wait and see just how bad...

    Thanks guys. I'm picking it up this Saturday! He says the tank has small holes in it so I might have to swap it out. Do you guys have any idea where I could find an OEM tank? 5,496 miles on it. I'm replacing the tubes, cables, chain and de-gunking the carbs first. I'd like to add original airbox...
