[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 198511, member: 2409"] Here is a mystery that I would love to figure out :headscratch: : The front tire is a Shinko 230, 120/90-18 which is the correct size for an '82. It is almost 5" wide at it's widest point. The GL1000 finder barely clears it by less than 1/8" on each side. In order to get that the front wheel/tire off I have to first remove the fender. [GALLERY=media, 32376][/GALLERY] Now I am thinking about putting an OE type GL1100 fender on. I have one that came with the bike but it is too damaged to use but it gives me something to look at. The width between those two braces with the brake hose clips is only 4". [GALLERY=media, 32379][/GALLERY] Yet according to the Honda service manual for '80 to '83 GL1100 the wheel just comes out once you remove the left brake caliper and the axle clamps. The Shinko 230 is about 1/4" wider than the Dunlop 404 that I had on before but to go past a 4" fender width you would have to have a way skinnier tire. Also, doesn't the '83s have an even fatter tire than an '82. What am I missing here? [/QUOTE]
