Try Pete's Super bike www.petes-superbike.com from Montreal. They should be able to source you something and at a great price as well.

All those 90/90-18 on Pete's site are front tires... I'm sure he can source something that's not listed on his site though.

You can go one size larger, that will give you more options.

Try Zdeno's in Kitchener. They will be able to help i'm sure!

You mean 100/80-18?

You can always get BikeBandit to ship to Buffalo or Niagara Falls (like usaddressinc.com) and go pick it up.

Yeah thats what i am thinking

The fronts 3.25-16 and backs 3.5-18
Would it be safe to assume going up to 3.5 and 4.0 is ok?

Lower profile tires front and rear should be ok but check clearances with the front forks, swingarm and with the center stand (if you have one) to make sure there is room. You don't want interference with any of those components. The change may also mean recalibrating the speedometer as the lower profile tires may have a different circumference. There is also a theoretical slowing down of the steering by going with a lower profile front as you are suggesting ( http://www.bmwmoa.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9824 ) but you may or may not detect a difference after the change.

BTW, what old bike are you trying to get these for?

We use metric sizes for tires now.
... and a 350 is bigger than a 90/90, more like a 110.
I would run the 90/90 on the front and a 110/80 or 90 on the back.

You may be able to find a 90/90 rear in Chen Shing.
