[QUOTE="ws6transam, post: 1398363, member: 65064"] [b]Millville tires on the XR80![/b] [img]http://ws6transam.org/Gallery/albums/WR500-Motorcycle/xr80_tires.sized.jpg[/img] Well here they are, the Kenda Millville tires on the Honda XR80. That's a 1984 Honda CR80 front wheel on the front, a real bolt-in solution for all XR80 and CRF80's that are saddled with the cheap-o noname knobby that Honda buys. Since there are no aftermarket tires for the 1.40 x 16 inch wheel that Honda puts on their 80, you are left with only two options: Re-lacing a 17-incher onto the hub, or else buying a 1983/1984 Honda CR80 wheel on Ebay, which is already 17 inches. That was the route I took, and I scored the CR80 wheel for $19 plus shipping. The difference is terrific: Where it was sliding around on the twisty test-trail we cut into the woods across the street, it's now sure-footed and hooks into the dirt & corners as hard as you can have the guts for turning the bars. The brakes are better too, with new shoes front & rear. I also took the time to replace the chain which was quite stretched and probably original. I even found a torn link on the old chain, ready to rip apart. >whew<, we dodged that bullet. [/QUOTE]
