nikhil 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2008 I own a 2007 model Honda Unicorn(not the sporty model).It is now a year old and has clocked just over 8000kms.I have always felt the need for a good wider tyre at the rear.I wanted to know if i can fit 100/90 tyre(as seen on the current model) in my bike.I also need to know if it can be done without any modifications done like cutting or grazing.Also,i have been thinking about fitting alloys in the bike.I saw a guy fix CBZ Xtreme alloys in his unicorn and i would also like to do the same since the unicorn alloys are more expensive.Can i also know what advantage does alloy rims hold over the steel spokes?Some say it helps you with the handling of the bike and maintanence is very easy.Is it true?And finally,i am facing a tiny "annoying" problem that has started recently.When i ride,my bike wobbles a bit and feels unstable.But this unstability is gone when i ride with a pillion.What could be wrong with the bike or is it just i am under-weight to ride the bike?

Charlesp 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2008 The alloys will probably be heavier than your spoked wheels, so that isn't really a performance mod, now, is it? You can fit a 100/90 tyre, but the new Unicorn's tyre won't fit on the old rim - strange but true. Get your wheels balanced for the wobbling, should sort it out.

nikhil 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2008 Regarding the tyre,Both versions use 18" rims so why do u say it doesn't fit?Anyway,if its that way,can you suggest me a tyre size that won't need any modification to be done on my bike? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikhil 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Ok.If not 100/90 which tyre size do you guys think would look cool?100/80?The only thing is that i just don't want to do any serious modifications to the swingarm etc.I can tolerate mileage drops but not in a drastic way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
