Great job!

What tire manufacturer are you running?

Joe C said...

Thanks OldMotoDude and ichiban! Jonathan, the tires are Shinko SR241 in 4.00-18 rear and 3.50-19 front.

Thanks. I've been in the hunt for a vintage looking enduro knobby. I also have a 79 xs that should be back up and running in a few weeks. I hope everything else is ironed out in time for bikes on Meridian. Did you upholster your own seat?

Joe C said...

Yes, those tires are almost identical to the old Dunlop trials universal that came on most of the old enduros. I did upholster the seat, but it was just a cover from Pit Replica, so not much to it. It is from a '72-'73 Kawasaki G5. One neat thing about that seat, I bought it from Rik Smits at his Boone County swap meet.
