So the bike isn't going to run with 17” Zane wheels so you can fit slicks?

Nope. New Battlax CR11, possibly a little better than period Phantoms. :ROFLMAO:

18" period magnesium Marvics fitted, would be a shame not to use them. Front is actually brand new, was never fitted after Günther experienced a major mishap in the '80s.

If Gunther wants to run the bike as close as possible to original he needs to get him and the bike over to the IOM!
No noise limits here. 😀

Other issues preventing that I'm afraid. We are thinking about visiting the Manx GP next year, as spectators.

I think I agree about the tyres!
2027 will be the 50th anniversary of the production by the factory of the 500 twin so I will probably be organising some sort of celebration at the Manx next year. :)

Hi piet, Bridgestone CR11 far far superior to period phantoms. Used CR11 up and till 2024, now switched to 17inch wheels.

That was sarcasm mode Andy. ;)

I don't think I've ever experienced worse "premium" tyres than the Phantoms, hated them with a vengeance. Weren't made for my riding style.
