Hi everyone!
I just bought a 1974 CL360, and I am interested in at least making the rear tire wider (and also maybe the front.) I am new to working on motorcycles, but from what I've read, I understand that putting a wider tire on the stock rim negatively affects how the bike handles, so I want to go with a wider rim. My question is: what is the widest rim and tire I can put on the bike without it rubbing? Can I even put a wider rim on the stock bike without it causing any problems? It seems like there are some pretty tight spaces around the tire as-is.
Thank you all in advance!
