2013 bike are replaced with more period<br />
correct wire-spoke hoops, which are<br />
also close to period-correct in being<br />
18-inchers in fairly modest widths (with<br />
just a 150-section tyre on the rear – the<br />
CB750 wore a 19”/18” combination and<br />
that rear tyre was a relatively skinny<br />
4.00x18, say 100-110mm wide). The<br />
