careful what you wish for.........you might get it -
That's what's on my '80G and my '83MK Mid Max and 100/90/19 on the 650's1980 XS1100G "Dolly G" Full Dresser (with a coat of many colors
)
1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)
Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

I've used a 130/100 H4 bulb in a couple of my bikes before my XS11s. Now I'm running and 85/55 bulb. These bulbs are taxing on the wiring and you may need to add in a relay...

Psst Tony....He was talking tire not bulbs....
I think the 110 goes on easier ont he standard model than the special. But I think it can fit on either.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

I'm just too freaking busy today and my mind must be somewhere else.
I have a 90/100 Metzler on the front of my bike. I only have a couple hundred miles on it and the nubs are still showing. So far I think I would go with this tire again...

I don't have an "E" model, but I run 110s on my XJ. Just remember that all tires are not equal. Some of them slide right up in place, and some of them, I have to let the air out and squeeze it up in there.. then fill it back up.

You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!
