Folks,

I need to replace the rubber on my 1981 GL1100.

Currently there are Dunlop K491 Elite II installed
Front - MT 90-19
Rear - MT 90-B17

I can not find these sizes to replace. I would like to know what brand/sizes the GL1100 community uses so I can make a well educated decision before ordering my tires. The more detail the better....:action:

Thanks in advance

The Fitment guide on Dunlop says use D404 110-90-19 front and D404 130-90-17 rear.....

MT90B17, part #4103-92 Dunlop K491 Elite II Rear is avaliable still--and recomended.

I'm liking my Avon Venom Xs a lot. Haven't ridden them in the rain though so can't comment on that and I only have 800 miles on them. I really like the handling. Feels like a sport bike through the twistys. I'm running 38lbs front 40lbs rear.
