KZ1000 Drag Racing Tire 5.10-16

OK Kids,

Any info on finding a drag-racing slick for a KZ1000 LTD?

Got a customer sniffin' around for a source. My initial search yielded nothing but MONSTER tires in the 16" range.
29" wide w/ 10" sidewalls, etc.

I just want to find a 5.10 - 16 slick!

Is that sooooo wroooong?:woohoo:

the only tires that are made in the 5-5.5" inch range are 18" you will have to change rim's, in the past i have used stock kawi 18"spoke it is abit to narrow but you can buy after market 3.5 or 4.25" rims from buccanans goodyear makes 2 different compounds and micky thompson makes 1 5.5/18" nobody is making 16" slicks for bikes anymore

I know there is a slick made that would fit that rim but couldn't say who makes it but I'd go with what Plummen said. He's never been wrong before...has he? LOL

cool when did m&h get back in business they haven't been around for years. in case you don't know if you do run a slick on your customers bike make sure it has a welded crank as the extra hook can cause the flywheels to shift if not welded.
