96' Elite CH80 Tire Question

Post by Joeb »

Will Michelin Reggae 130/90-10 fit on my Elite 80? I see online elsewhere that some say they have put Reggae tires on an Elite 80 but they look like they would be too big. Do either the Reggae 120/90-10 OR THE 130/90-10 fit? i know they will fit the 10" rim dimension but worried about diameter being too large for wheel well. Also do they sell 90 degree tubeless valve stems for the Elite 80 rim? The hole is very small and wont fit a standard motorcycle 90 deg stem. There is a standard valve stem that is straight that will fit but you know the problem with that - cant get air chuck on it so needs to be 90 deg. if they don't make guess I will stick with tubes. wo0udol love to see if anyone else has researched these same issues?

Those tire sizes will never fit under the Elite 80.
Stick with the appropriate size because the Elite 80 is not a hot-rod.
Shinko 3.50x10 is a fine tire for your bike.
I've installed many 90 degree valve stems in Elite 80 wheels. Don't know your problem.
