I need a 140/70-18 67 H rear for the Zeph, I've trawled the net and a Bridgestone comes in at around 75 quid upwards, and I'm not paying it...

There are other makes available but they're an 80 section, what issues would I have if I put one on the bike...

Handling issues, braking, uneven wear ?...

Easier finding rocking horse shit...

Any advice people ?... Thumbs Up

Hi

It would raise the back up about 14mm. Quicken the steering and make it less stable.

There should be other suitable tyres, or consider a 150/60 (bit wider, check the rim is suitable) which is not that uncommon in H rated 18" sizes due to the NC30.

All the best

Keith

Avon SuperVenom Motorcycle Tyre 140/70 18
price: £39.99 + £8.00 p+p

Ebay
Retailer is in Shipley nr Bradford and does a fit service as well.

As to are they any good.... Who know's.

Sadly if you need a tyre, you gotta pay the price.
Never mind the risk of a fine, its the damage you might cause should it let go.....

Thanks, but it would be a cheap evening for you. These days I drink so little I would be out of my tree rapidly.

All the best
