tires for Raider 9, 1968

[donamy99 14]

I am restoring my Raider 9, 1968. The back tires are 23X8.50-12. Can I use 23X10.50-12?

Thanks, Don

Yes they will fit under the rear fender but when mounted up on 7"wide rims (yours are 7") they end up with a rounded tread pattern and not a 10.5 wide flat tread pattern and are a bit taller than 23".

Looks good so far! I love those bread loaf gas tanks.

If you need any engine parts, let me know. I have a spare HH100.

Guys, I did not plan on all this work. I am still sanding and priming. I have ordered a number of parts(small things but they add up). Parts, paint, tires, seat and supplies, when will it stop!!!!!! I am enjoying this project. Taking the motor to be checked next week. I know were to stop and leave it to the pros.
