Trying to find a set of 17"s for my RS. My stock 18"s are next to impossible to find tires for.... any help would be great. email to [email protected] or post Thanks Mike
Mike, Call Bob Barker and get a set of KR825 Dunlops. I know they're not slicks, but they are definately far and away the best tires you can put on there. I run them on my TA and I swear I can carry more corner speed than my TZ with it. Very progressive, very fun to ride. ;-) He also imports the rest of the Dunlop vintage race line, which is all current dunlop racing compounds. The KR164 on the back of my 400 was apparently a world supersport compound two years ago... Here's his old ad and contact info. R.C.

I have a set of spare wheels on my '98 with my rains on them I'll sell you. I have 4 sets so I can let one set go. They have had about 15 sets of tires mounted on them so the finish is a little less than desirable but they are in perfect running order and no cracks or dents or nasty abuse. e-mail me if you want them.

'95 or newer rear wheel(s) will not fit in your old 125's swingarm...I know because I tried...hope you did not buy 'em yet. You need 17's that are from a '94 or older.
Just wanted to say that Barker worked out great. got some 18" dunlops on the way.... thanks for the tip. Btw found out 95' newer 17"s do not fit 94' and older rs 125 so im still looking for a set of 17"s but they must be from a older bike Thanks MIke RS 125 1989
