Mach 1 Tires?

[Octane]

K40 Heidenau is 2.50-18. Heidenau has some interesting options for the rear as well.

They do look promising! Anyone have experience with these tires or this brand generally?

I just mounted some avons on mine. Look and ride real nice.

What model/size?

Hello,
I have a Mach1 Replica, It came with Pirelli City Demon 3.00x18 front & 3.25x18 rear. They are a little large but fit fine, Would love a 2.75 front & 3.00 rear. They seem to be a hard enough (Non Race) tire that has good where and traction. I think they came from Road&Race in AU

You can't have an original front fender then. There's absolutely no way I can get a 2.75 on the front, let alone a 3.0

One other option could be running a widecase front fender? Does anyone know if they will fit, and if there is more tire clearance?

Ok, it looks like these are my only options.

The Heidenau K40R is the race compound. The K40 is street compound. I have a Heidenau 19" front on BMW, quite pleased with the product. No experience with other Heidenau tires. There's also a 2.50-18 for the CB50R available from Honda. This is probably the BT-39SS shown on the Bridgestone website. Could use this on the front and the 100/90-18 on the rear.

What are you planning for the rear then? I was hoping Heindenau had a matching rear, but no joy.

There's a guy in Sydney who does race tires so I'm trying to get him to track something down for me.
He recommended the Sava MC11 in 2.50-18

But I've read mixed reviews on the Sava's in general so I'm a bit hesitant.

The BT39SS's are infact the tire spec'd on the Honda CB50R (Dream 50) and the Honda part number is: 42711-NX1-003
I'll phone my local Honda dealer tomorrow and get a price/availability.

The K39 would be the logical choice for the rear to pair up with the K40 front.
It's available in 2.75-18

The Heidenau K39 looks more of a front pattern to me. I’d choose the K33 but the smallest size is 3.00-18.

The BT39SS is $84.75 from Honda in the USA.

Avon makes a 80/90-18 front. Did you try that one as well? Those German tires look good and the price is right so I might give those a go next time. Avons are so pricey and wear pretty fast but as long as you don't square them out I dont see why they won't make it through the Giro. My Honda 400/4 was about to crack 5k before I sold it. They were low but still feel great.
Also go with a monza fender before a widecase front. Thats what I did and only a very few can spot the differences. I've had a 3.00 with no problem.

I'm a bit hesitant to splash out on those Avons without knowing if they'll fit. My dad has a Monza fender tucked away in his shed somewhere so I'll see if he can dig that out for me to try. Hopefully it's not the square looking one.
