Front tire for 74 Fx?

[eddiepanhead]

Getting close to finishing up my 74FXE. Went to mount the stock fender and discovered that the tire that is on the machine is too wide to accept a stock fender.
Would anyone know what size tire came stock on this machine? What brand? What is a good replacement?
Cant really get a straight answer from local sources, seems like a 90/90-19 might bee a good choice......?
Any help or ideas are appreciated.

Tire size has little to do with the actual width.diff manufacturers and diff tire #s can be way diff width.the old tires were 100/90 but narrow total width.[no pointed sidewalls]dunlop is narrower than some others.The D404 is for lighter weight bikes but fits well in Sporty/Fx forks,,,the D401 is a bit too wide at the pointed edge

The Dunlop D401 comes in a 90/90-19 and will fit in your fender with no problem.

The original tire was 3.75x19, which I think translates to 90/90 nowadays.

I agree the 90/90 D401 works fine..But,I think it is lower profile than originals were.Same problems on rear.The originals did not have the pointed sidewalls & many new 103/90 tires are much wider than the Dunlops & will rub & tear out the TS wires.The rear dunlop is 3/4" narrower than many
