I've seen a few Bobbed LS650's on the Web with a white walled tire on the rear, so a size that fit that rim at least must be available ...

They are pretty pricey . Im not sure if the rear 140/90-16 tire will fit ??? , but they do have a 100/90-19 front tire. I have seen them in person and they are quite bootiful

The MAXXIS website claims that they make in their M6011 street tire line whitewalls in both 100/90-19 front and a 140/90-15 rear. Their sizing chart lists the rear tire as being 24.7" diameter and 5.7" width on a 3.5" rim. Dunlop lists their D404 in 140/90-15 as 24.73" diameter and 5.85" width -- which tire I am wearing without any rubbing.

I sent off a request as to whether or not they still produce those tires.

They ordered it and did the install for $80 +. Very happy with it, much better than the stock pos. Two dealers wanted $100 to take off the rim, love to find work like that for a 15 min. job. I'm going to do the rear also, white walls are soooo cool.

Bike bandit has 100-90-19 for $55.31 +ups ground. 140-90-15 for 83.24+ shiping. The shop did the ordering for me + free $25 mount and balance + 9.1 tax for $80 and change. I also looked at the avon but the maxxis was a lot better looking, imo. Thanks for the camera tip, I will try to post a picture, however at my age I'm hanging on to this new technology by my fingernails. I still can't find the kick start on this bike.

HA.. You know, THAT IS THE ONE THING that would have made The Savage a HUGE marketing success! It NEEDS a kicker just for the principal of a thumper bike.
