Re: [NHC] vintage track tire suggestions?
I put Dunlop K-81s on my RD 350 and CB 400 F back in 1975, those were the tire to have back then.
Dunlop makes a TT100, which, I am told, is the tire to replace the K-81. My RD and my CB had 3.00 X 18 front, 3.50 X 18 rear as standard equipment (probably the same size as came on the 305 Hawk you have. The CYCLEWORLD "A Step Further" article, November 1974, on hopping up the RD, said they went with Goodyear prototype tires with a 90% aspect ratio (good luck finding those) in 3.25 X 18 front, and 4.00 by 18 rear. The popular size for the K-81s was 3.60 X 18 front, and 4.10 X 18 rear, that's what the magazine guys all recommended. I swear they didn't look any bigger than the stock tires..stuck better though. I don't know if the sizing would be the same for the TT100s. James Franklin 2411 Pine Summit DR. E Jacksonville, Florida 32211 808-225-0994 (cell) From: "J. Braun" <braunj@...> Reply-To: braunj@...

Re: Henderson
Pete Cordell
R,
On my second bike, a '69 XLCH Sportster, which I bought new in the summer of '68, the left hand grip was used to retard or advance the ignition. If one forgot and tried to start it on full advance it would "ever-so-gently" remind you of your trangression by trying to launch the operator a** over tea-kettle into outer space somewhere... Usually I could start it up with just two or three kicks though (unless it was real cold out) which was considered pretty good for that model. I think that '69 was the last year of that magneto ignition on the Sportsters, too.
