Here's a pic of the front/rear wheel that was on my 850 Commando before I just recently swapped back to oem wheels/tires.
The front wheel is a 100x18 The rear is a 120x18 . The tire next to the rear wheel is a new Avon 4.10x19.
Until I decided to install oem size, I had never had both wheels off the bike and had never realized the dia difference. But I thought the handling was twitchy compared to my old 750 and it needed a steering damper, which I never had/needed on my 750.
The downside of the new 4.10s is that the bike's centerstand will not get the rear wheel off the ground without a piece of 3/4" plywood under it!
Another of the "you never know what you're 'gonna get" when you buy a used bike...
