I need some help determining if I can use Coker Fiirestones on my
hardtailed bobber (formerly a 1982 CB750 Nighthawk). As you know, the
Nighthawk has the solid "star" mags instead of the usual Comstar mags,
along with different stock tire sizes than most DOHC CB750 bikes. I think

If I'm correct your first number is width. So 120 is 120mm and the other tire
you want to swap is given in inches. Convert 120mm to inches and the stock
tire is 4.72 inches. I'd say the tires are too narrow for the rim to do the
swap.

Maybe so, I'm not an engineer. I just wanted to state it so that the OP
knows and can research and decide for them selves. After seeing Javier run
radials for a good 5 years, I'm convinced that the Nighthawk rims can take
it. I'm guessing it is more of a consern with the older bike rims which are

Ehhh... I suppose that might contribute, but... I'm not convinced the
difference is that great. The plies in both are essentially fabric (nylon
or poly); they don't provide any sort of compressive strength, like you'd
need in an impact situation. The plies are there for their tension
strength, to k
Kurt, the reason is the orientation of the bands in the tires. On a bias
ply the threads are arranged in an x pattern which distributes the load
over a larger section of the rim. On a radial tire the bands are in +
pattern with the sidewall bands at a 90 degree angle to the rim. This
places load fr
Oh yea you previously had the BT021 series tires. I thought they were a bit
hard.

Ask me what my phone number is and I'll have to think hard about it, LOL.
My brain just has a knack for remembering useless information.
Unfortunately my hard drive is full so that useless info pushes out
something useful I used to know.

I don't know how do you remember those things Allen. I remember I put new
tires when the bike was still on your garage, so probably 2 years ago now.
But in any case, yes, they are BT-something, either 23 or the newer 30, and
they are great. Those are the second pair I put in my nh750, and I really

A 150 profile fits on the rear of the 750 without clearance issues. It
feels a little different, especially at the deeper leans, but it's fine.

So, I'm looking for new tires for my 91 750, and liking the BT T30s. The only
thing is that the rear comes in a 150 70 17. I know it will fit, but is it a
good idea? If not, I'll just go with the usual BT 45s. Just trying to see if it
would be a better tire. Thanks.
