Just let me know, I'll pull them off ebay and send you a paypal invoice.
They are 3" and 3.5" rims

I know Chris wants to sell you some rims but til you can afford them the Dunlop GT tires will work on your bike. They are made for the skinner rims. go to dunlops site and check the size available.

thanks for the offer, still trying to decide if I want to spend time and money on newer wheels - there was a foot of snow when I bought the bike so I have only ridden it one day so far.

Well I have an 88 Katana. I use the metzlers z6's with that tire size. Stock rims and swingarm and can tell you with out a doubt that they work just fine. Infact this is my 3rd set of tires, and can tell you I ****ing love them.

These tires have seen well over 100 mph and corner like god. /shrug

Are you still on the stock 2.5 front and 3.0 rear or on a 89 and up rim?

I am on the stock 88 3.00 rear and 2.50 front. I work in the field and tire guys think they know everything. I get into arguments with my supplier all the time. Sad thing is that I went to school for tire's, well took a class on it anyways. I dont know it all but can assure you that it works.

OK, I ordered z6's just now from Dennis Kirk - they beat Ron Ayers by one dollar which was the best price I could find for them to beat ($103.94 front, $119.91 rear). $50 shipping to BC - they will ship by post instead of UPS which saves me money on brokerage - it does take longer but I am in no rush. The difference between that and my local dealer ($147 front, $197 rear) will pay for the mount and balance.

I'll put these on my stock rims for now, and so long as I decide I like the bike after a couple longer rides I'll go for a set of 89 and up rims.

Thanks for the input!

Hey NP, glad I could be of assitance.
I love mine and I think you will as well. I have had no issues on wet or dry.
I am also gona end up going with a newer rim set as well but probably not till next year. I want to change my sprockets and the options for the 88 are pitiful. They have 2 size differences for the rear and a few more for the front but the rear is the biggest change and maybe go up one in front.
Good luck with riding :mrgreen:
