Need tires for z1 with Lesters......

On my Z1 Lesters, am running Bridgestone Spitfires "stock replacement" sizes 110/90-18 and 100/90-19. Previously had 130/90-18 on rear which looked too "bulged out" for the rim (like wearing pants with a too small waist size). Next time I'll try a 120/90-18 which is one size larger than stock, but stays closer to the "correct" stock bike look.
Thats just what I wanted to know. Thanks! I ordered your set-up 100 front and 110 rear using Kenda Challenger's. Will 3.25/3.50-18 & 3.50/4.00-18 tubes work?
Russ, do you have a 3" wide rear rim or the 2.15?
Mine are 3 inches wide...Russ

110/90 is just gay looking Sorry, I don't particularly like fat tires, but smaller than original just doesn't cut it at all either.
I just like the "period correct" look(at least on this '75 z1). Got another bike thats getting 6" rim, etc. It seems 110mm is larger than 4" so how can it be smaller? All I want is a near stock repacement tires so it handles good.
Patton, Thanks for the pics! That size will work for sure with me. Do you know if the Lester front rim is a 2.15 or 1.85? Is that the V&H race baffle too? I need me one of them!
Russ, nice! I would love to find a 3" Lester rear. Maybe, I'll post a want ad in classifieds.
Great looking bikes guys! Thanks!!
O yeah, how about those tubes I got? They will work, right?
