I have no idea about that. I do know that BT45s are great tyres and this page would suggest there is an 18in to suit your bike... http://mc.bridgestone.co.jp/en/produ...tlax/bt45.html

We got 8 people on one of these at a rally years ago. Probably not the sort of info you were looking for.

Got photos?

Cycletreads have 90/90-18 BT45s in stock. 80/90 is the proper metric conversion of a 2.75 apparently, but 90/90 isn't too far out I suppose. I'm sure somebody closer to you has a correct-sized BT45, they're a common, cheap, long-lasting great tyre with tonnes of grip.

Long time ago so any photos are long lost. We had six on the bike and one balanced on each side on the pillion and rider pegs. Alcohol was involved.

Aaaah this brings back memories of my first bike, also a GL145. Definitely keep an eye on the oil level as mine would eat it like it was going out of fashion (used to ride Levin to Taradale, would use a tank of gas and pretty much all the oil in the motor per trip).

Those BT45s look like they need a lot wider a rim than what I have (1.6 inch front and rear) would that be an issue?

It's not going to be an issue. I've got a 2.75 rear on my GL, it's fine.

Anyone know what the correct qty of fork oil is for these- I think someone overfilled mine last time they were done and it just failed the warrant cause of a leaky seal.

He, I attempt tp buy a GL 145, but with a 200cc engine by "Loncin".
It will be my first bike and i will only drive it until july next year, because I'm going to live overseas...

Do you think I have to get a certificate or something for it, because the enginesize has changed a lot, e.g. new breaks or something like that?

Here's the bike.

loncin are a chinese manufacturer making cheaper versions of honda motors. whether it will last until july is anyone's guess!

no you wont need new cert for the brakes etc, though there may be some paperwork to be done the mounts were probably all the same (being a copy of a honda engine) so it was either signed off or will be easy to do

click here, and skip to the end of, the uni club's current "i'm looking for a 250" thread - quite a few good finds on there recently
