There are plenty of 19in. tyre options available, going 18 will affect the bikes gearing and ground clearance
Also making it even harder to get the plunger onto the centre stand  *eek*

G'day Vd.
Stick with 19" on the plunger. As John said.
I put 18" on the s/a racer just for available race compound tyres.
Cheers

Righto 19 it is then,I do like the old skinny tyre look anyway it's a refreshing change to the daft obsession of recent years of putting on the largest rear tyre possible irrespective of handling! *smile*,thanks for input guys.
