Getting my 185 all back together and its going well.

The front fork and fender that grew on me ending up being the 125m Squared off fender so for now I have more tire clearance since its physically higher on the fork.

According to my searches it lists the 125m as a 25" tire bit I just cant see it fitting...

I really need some help and experience with what tire you can cram into the front of a 125M fork. Hopefully modern, and with a front tire rounded profile.


Thanks in advance!

125m uses a 22x11x8 tire from the factory on all three .
The early 1980 plain 185 used a 25x12x9 tire

I guess its a profile thing from generation to MUCH later generation.. baloon vs rounded
here is a picture to refrence the 22" baloon atc tire and then the front Mudlite in 22" and the Kenda in 21"

That dam quadsport wheel in 9" seems to be the issue but if anyone knows of a knock off 9" big front tire we can use it would be appercaited.
I may have to send these back since they dont look like they will be big enough.

Picture for motivation!

The “front max” will be the best handling tire you can put up front in most cases, but your you gonna be limited to very few tires in 22 height with that 9” wheel. A lot of the tires in the 22x11-9 size are gonna be rear “square profile” tires.

That wheel ended up being not aluminum.

Any idea what year he may be talking about?
Thanks in advance.
