Intruders-Alert

Anyone ever go bigger on their front tire? I'd like to go with a fatter front tire. What size do you think I could safely go up to?

Stock is 80/90 r21

Not sure how wide you can go with the 21 but I run a 110 on my 19" wheel. I think the 21"'wheel is a little narrower so you may not be able to use a 110.

My data says the stock front tire is 100/90-19. Unless you have replaced the front wheel with one from '88 to '99.
Are you trying to make the bike less nimble? A wider front tire makes turn in just a little harder.

Well after looking at the bike I was wrong. It is a 100/90 19. And I just like the look of a beefy front tire.

I got the 87 Californi and its a 110. I could not get a 110 and settled for a 90. I was terribly dissapointed, it looked so narrow compared to the 110. I hope it wears out soon.

You are limited by the fender mounts on the forks, removing the fender and grinding down the lugs will give clearance for a wider tire. You will need to Google for the maximum safe tire width for the wheel rim. By removing the fender you are compromising the strength of the forks.

I'm the opposite & wanted a narrower front tire.

Then you can buy anything you want and have a choice and save money too.
