I wouldn't ride on them at all.
You could have gotten brand new tires for $200 shipped.__________________

If your not out railing on them, shouldn't be a problem.

yea i could have gotten a brand new set for 200 but i have other issues that wouldve made it more expensinve and time consuming plus these rims r powdered coated and i love the way they look. and i gotta tap out 2 bolts from the brake rotor on rear well he gave me that with his set. plus getting new tires put on isnt cheap theres noone not even a small shop around here that will do it for less than 80 a tire with balancing if i just bring in rim and tire! and im not looking for something to go tear up the roads on right now. my fighters still being fixed up so im just wanting something to drive 20 minutes every couple days 2 my buddys house and 2 work. when i get my body work finished im gonna go to a gsxr extended swingarm. which another question to krey. what exactly do i have to mod to fit a gsxr swingarm onto my 91 750.Comment

Several Custom spacers and parts at the pivot point, relocate and weld back on the brake torque arm mount point, work out the link/dogbones for the specific swingarm suspension depending on where the links mount to the swingarm, and of course resolve any clearance issues that may occur with the subframe.Originally posted by poscarguy View Post
That is assuming your talking older GSXR swingarms like around the early 90s. If your looking at new GSXR swingarms, then alot more focus on the links/dogbone susupension and shock mount, as well as subframe clearance... but all the rest applies as well.

I did have a Douche-lop K591 on the back of the kat for a little bit. I didn't ride on it very much, but it made a ton of smoke when I burned it off. The little bit I did ride on it, it didn't feel unsafe or anything, though. I'd ride on it, just don't demand too much of the tires and you'll be fine.Any and all statements by Loudnlow7484 are merely his own opinions, and not necessarily the opinion of Katriders.com.
