Tires - Honda CB450 - Cafe Racer - Part 7

Back to work on our Honda CB450 Cafe Racer Project.
In part 7 of the series I try, and ultimately fail, to mount a set of Dunlop D404 tires on the stock rims of our Honda CB450. Unfortunately, after numerous attempts I was unable to get the rear tire to fully seat on the rim. Not every step of a build goes to plan and this was no exception.

You make lifting that engine look easy.

Modern tires aren't easy to get for old bikes. I always struggle with the process of matching tread style and width. Good luck!
