What tires for a kz1000p please

[minilandrover]

Hi I have restored a kz1000p 1988 police bike,, i removed the dead dunlop runflats and fitted what i thought to be the best same appearance tires. So up front went a 110/90/18 Bridgestone MAG-MOPUS Great, this was a new unused tire, for the rear i managed to find a Dunlop K127 in 130/90/18 part used. The bike handles a dream fast bends leaning over wet and dry or slow weaving in and out of cones / traffic is great..But I CANNOT GET ANOTHER K127 FOR THE REAR!!! None left. No longer made. so what do you guys fit? The SPITFIRE S11 is available in both 110/90/18 and 130/90/18 but not sold over here in FRANCE, and i still have a healthy front mag mopus to use up. Do I have to keep to cross ply bias tires? has anyone got some healthy K127's Please can some one help?

I have received a reply to this question from Bridgestone and they say to use a 120/90/18 bt45 on the rear. Well i didn't realise that they were bias ply tires. But they are. And i use them already on my gpz500s with great satisfaction, wet and dry.
I guess that I will end up putting one on the rear of the kz1000p. I told them i had a MAG-MOPUS up front 110/90/18 and this is of course also made by Bridgestone, so I am Guessing that they are compatible. But I'm going to fit the slightly fatter 130/90/18 as this in the k127 handles great. So I am still interested to see if any of you guys have tried a set of S11's yet.

Glad you found some tires. No experience with the set you are talking about.

While shipping overseas may be too expensive, search Motorcycle superstore. They have a ton of tires and you can at least see what else is available out there.
