Kenda tires 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I'm loving the Kenda K761 they are putting on the Indian bobber. Problem is I can't find them anywhere in the sizes going on the Indian (virtually same as ours). Lots of other sizes. I'm wondering if maybe they are OEM only or something. Anybody out there have any Kenda contacts?

Oh and I know most of you have no interest in that kind of tire but I do (losers!).
If I cant get those I'm going back to some old faithfuls like the Firestone ANS or Deluxe Champion or maybe the Avon Safety Mileage MK2 500x16.

Is that one for a 10" rim?


Yeah that ain't it.....lots of sizes out therein that model but not in the size we and the Indian use. It's spec'd on their bobber but I can't find them in the aftermarket or even on Kenda's site. I'm sure the price form Indian (like Yamaha) is way out of sight.

Re:Kenda tires 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
My 1300 deluxe uses the same stock front rim and tire size as my roadstar did. When they put the new tires on, They put a Kenda on the front, and a shinko on the back. This is on the stock 16 inch rim. Like I said, the v-star 1300 deluxe uses the same front wheel as the Roadstar, 130/90 16 67H, it even looks like it is the exact same rim, with dual front brakes etc.

So if you are talking stock roadstar rim, then yes I believe Kenda makes a tire that fits. =)

Edit: I just looked at a couple of the pics I took of my bike when I brought it home, and the front tire says Kenda Kruz on it if that helps =)
My bike isn't here right now or I would just go out and get the numbers off the side of the tire.
