Cbluez, So what tires did you wind up with?  How many miles on them, and how do they look?  What year is your S?  Did you have to do anything to make them fit or were they a straightforward mount up?

hello i have a k75s 1992 ABS stock with the 3 Spoke wheel 
My rear tyre's Dunlop Streetsmart ( 130/90R17 68 V rear   and  100/90R18 56 V front) is almost done.
My stock wheel is a 3" (3.0x17, ref: 36 31 2 311 887 ) , my shock EMC come with a bigger spring than the stock,
Somebody know if i could use the BT 30 that Johnny was showing in 150 70 zr 17 t30r and 110 80 zr 18  for rear and front without mod ?
Many thanks

I'm running Bridgestone T30 Battlax 150/70ZR-17 on a 3x17 3-spoke rear rim, and Bridgestone T30 Battlax 110/80ZR-18 on a 2.5x18 3 spoke front rim on my K75.  Mind you, I converted my suspension both front and back to a K1100 fork with K1100 transmission, centrestand and Paralever backend.  I don't have interference with either the centrestand, swingarm or the shock with this setup.  I think you are getting pretty close to the rear swingarm with the standard Monolever backend, so you may have to space the wheel out a little.  Check for clearance on the centrestand as well.

Thank you RBM for your answer
Seems there is a real limited space with the stock monolever swingarm, i took a quick look to my rear wheel , and 0,40 inches ( 1 cm) is a little less than the free space between my shock spring and the dunlop streesmart 130 that i have..( i didnt check yet the space with the monolever)
Does anyone have already test with or without a spacer with a stock k75?
Dont really like the idea of a none align rear wheel with the front wheel.

Feel i will stay with dia tyre  :dunno but last picture of Johnny motobrick seems prouve that it should fit with a monolver swingarm and standard shock spring ( maybe with a spacer  ?)
