I put some Kenda Knarleys on my 86 R and the large IMS tank.

So hows the ride with the oversized tank? I heard they feel "in the way" @ times? Sure looks big, no seat gap there... ;)

I am not really a fan of the huge gas tank but I love the white seat on the other R.

Looks great!! How many gallons does that tank hold?

The tank isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. I will still get a Clarke tank once they are made. I believe it is 4 gallons worth in that Big Tank. I cannot wait to get my ESR top end for the red 85 250r. The Bigger tank seems to help keep the front end down better in turning, but it has a different feel because you tighten your stance with your knees more than inner thigh like on the standard tank. Hey the other tank that I had that was professionally painted still peeled. Oh well it is just money right?

Must be nice being able to ride for more than an hour at a time!

How do you like the knarlys? What about those dunlop radials on the 450r I see in the pic? I bought a pair of those dunlops for my R, looking forward to trying them. I'm hoping they act like the ohtsu radials, I really like those tires.

I have had Ohtsu radials on that white R before the Knarlys, and prefer the Knarlys. The Dunlops on my 450R are about the same as the Ohtsu Radials. They slide decent and get good traction. They should work good on your R.
