Title: GS500 front tyre
Post by: jaybee on March 09, 2016, 02:37:21 AM
Hi...I'm in the middle of creating a GS500 STREET><TRACKER and want to fit some chunky rubber on the front end...can anyone advise if a 130-80/17 tyre will fit without any rubbing issues concerning the forks?... I am aware that I will have to modify the front fender.

..hope you can help!!

Sorry, can't help you with a 130.
NorthwestRider put on some chunky knobbies for a trip up to alaska, that might be the look you are going for?
120/70 TKC front
140/80 K60 rear
