I know it would not be any fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?

I would stay with stock sizes. One of the issues I have seen people run into with oversize tires is poor handling and lack of stability.
Well what about the front tire? Is the size I listed right for the conversation to metric?

would a 3.25H-19 be the same size as a 100/90-19?
Mine also came with 3.25-19 on the front. I usually run 100-90-19 no problem. Last time they only had it in 110-90-19, so I got that... it was a shade to big. At about 55 mph I would hear a whine as the tire diameter "grew" and it rubbed on the tip of the front fender. had to raise the fender about 1/4".
:laugh:
So, don't go there..... stick with 100/90.

What kind of bike do you have bountyhunter? I found this guide www.motorcycleproshop.com/tires/tireinfo.asp it shows 100/90 being the same as 3.25 and 3.50. How can it be the same as 2 different sizes?
I have a 1979 KZ-750 twin.
As to why they are the same as two different sizes: like he said, the metric equivalents are not actually identical to the standard sizes, I think they are close equivalents.
I think 100/90 is equivalent to 3.25, but it may also be close to 3.50.
