You definitely DON'T want to use a CAR tire on a bike!
Bikes have to lean, so the tires have to be rounded. Car tires are flat on the contact surface. I don't know anything about sizes, as I always just use the stock size, but there are a few options when it comes to using a wider motorcycle tire on the stock wheels. A few searches here will give you plenty to read about that topic.

its called darkside you could read in to it more, SOME people use a car tire on their motorcycle, but anyway..
My rear tire has got to be at least 7 years old if not more, but it looks great, may be able to keep. Its my front that is flat that I will be replacing.Comment

The wood bleach is good, but can I use it effectively just wiping--or do I have to completely remove the forks and soak the top ends in a bath for hours to achieve good results?Comment

Hi TajMan,
Get New Tires. I would also suggest you get it running well with the existing exhaust to give yourself a base line for future exhaust / jetting mods.

Yeah I'll keep that kerker 4-1, It just needs sandblasted and coated with something.
That spare seat/sissy bar I have worth anything?
I was just gonna give the seat to someone for $20Comment

Just wanted to let you guys know, wood bleach is awesome for rust removal on chrome parts.
I have some pieces that were completely orange, now looking brand new shiny again.
I think I need some 1 3/4" sections of pipe with 45 degree elbows, to fix my dented in areas that are bad on exhaust.Comment
