I have been toying with getting a set of Lester wheels for my 78 GL1000.
My problem is that there seems to be a limited choice of tyre for the rear.
I ride quick so need decent tyres, and of course preferably a matched pair.
If I stick with the original comstars I will be fitting a pair of Michelin Road Classics, but if I were to change to the Lesters a front tyre of my choice will be simple, but what choices are there for the rear?
Being that it is only a 16 inch wheel it would seem that choices are very limited. Any suggestions out there from Lester users?

Re: Lester Wheels
The Lester rims are wider than the original Comstars, the rear being 3" There are plenty of 16x 150/80 tyres available. That will require a bit of 'massaging' of the drive side swing arm and removing the rear wheel means the caliper has to come off too.
'Impossible' is just a level of difficulty! The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask first!
