100/90/19 tire front advice

[Silverback]

I have a 2012 classic chrome 500 and I need a new tire set. 90/90/19 are hard to find or are crazy expensive. 100/90/19 more in my price range. They are 10 mm wider so I'm looking for advice fitting with oem fender.

As posted in your other thread have you looked for a 100/80-19?

Hadn't thought about that. It would be a bit shorter and might not rub. Good idea

What tires are you considering?
Bridgestones BT46s are excellent. Quick wearing for a sport touring tire, but sticky, stable, and very confidence inspiring. They are also a bit undersized for the numbers. They were noticably smaller than the same sized tires that came on my Interceptor. I'll bet the 100/90 would fit without a problem in place of a 90/90.

Update. 100/90/19 fit well with grinding excess bolt down to nut flush. I created my own issue. Ugh.... I picked up a 70/30 tread Kendra k761. I didn't account for tread being taller. So I am in the process of fabricating extensions for fender stays.

Didnt weld them as I plan to get regular road tires tire next time. Hopefully I won't have issue with the ,120/80/18.

We shall see. At least these tires are tubeless and work on the rims I had purchased years back. Keeping my fingers crossed.
