Since it was an experiment, I went dirt cheap, the tire brand is Duro ($75) and it's a 130/90-17 on a TBS stock front wheel. Yes, it handles and corners just fine. I can't make it slip and I have tried.

Very nice! What did you do to the right side engine case? It looks like you gave it the GFG treatment?

Really like that tire and wheel, and the tank badge, too!

I bought the rough unfinished cover and guard, poof-canned 'em black and worked the fins out with a 2x6 inch stone, took about 3 hours of whittling to get it acceptable. BTW, no complaints about the machine work for the case mating surfaces and the stator mounting.
