new "rubber"

New Rubber! well both tires and tubes replaced
I went with shinko 712's with 100/90/18 in the front and 110/90/18 in the rear, they were the same size is what was on the bike when i bought it and research has shown that going 120/90/18 on the rear is almost too tight of a fit with some problems. But don't get me wrong other say its fine and make it work but i had to nudge the wheel past the drum break and i think if it was wider you would have to deflate the tire to get it on.







Also had a bit of problems, bike started to basically have "no guts" and with some help from the forums decided it was the carb diaphragms that needed to be replaced. Replaced the diaphrams and put the stock carb boots back on to the airbox, i still feel like it runs better with the pod filters though.
