Im going to need new tires on my 1980 Honda CB750K in the future and im trying to decide which to get. The front is a 100 90 19 and the rear is a 120 90 18. A little bit about my riding style and the bike: I usually dont ride in the rain unless I happen to get caught in it. And I wont be taking any extreme corners, haha. Basically Im looking for a good set of tires to last me a while, not really something with a soft compound. The bike is mostly just used for cruising around town and the freeway. What do you guys recommend?

I would recommend postponing the upcoming custom work and the new paint job, and then investing that money in a good set of new tires.

You didnt read all of my post then. that is a completely different bike. The one in my signature is a 1981 CB750C (CB750 Custom). My other bike is a 1980 CB750K like what I said in my thread. That CB750C is done and I havent updated my signature in a long time.

Bridgestone S-11 Spitfire in your 100/90/19 and 120/90/18 sizes would be hard to beat for your requirements, about $135 for the pair at my local place.
