78/80 Z1R Rim question

#7 PostAuthor: mick » Sun Mar 14, 2010 8:00 am

Interesting stuff. My Z1R has 18" alloys. Many moons ago (20 yrs) I bought a brand new Z1R front mudguard when they were actually in stock! I have always used 100/90 x 18 tyres but the height of the tyre never 'filled' the mudguard like other Z1R's I have seen. Now I'm thinking that I have a 19" Z1R mudguard! If this is true, I guess it should be ok to fit a 110/90x18 tyre? Anyone else have the same issue?
