       Stock Tire Sizes?

       My Nuovo Falcone project came with a 3.5-18 front tire and a
       4.0-18 rear tire.  I suspect these are oversize.
       The internet indicates that the front tire should be 3.25-18 and
       the rear tire 3.5-18.  Is this correct?

       Yes, but it's common to fit 3.50-18 at both ends. The 4.00 would
       foul the chainguard I think, as one of our members is reverting
       to stock so he can re-fit it.

       Thanks banquo!  The 4.0 rear looks too big, and the bike doesn't
       sit quite flat on the center-stand - - - although that might be
       due to the non-stock shocks that are installed.  Hopefully with
       a 3.5 rear and stock length Hagon shocks, all will be good.

       Update.  I've been running 3.25/3.5 front/rear tires (Heidenau)
       with WM2/WM3 front/rear rims with good results.  I doubt the
       non-stock WM2 front rim (vs. original WM3 width) has much effect
       on handling.

       Great!
       Centre-Stand OK now?
