Default Front Tire Options For Stock Rim

I'm going to up grade my rear tire to the Avon Storm 180/55 but can't find a front to fit the stock rim. Do they make one at 100/90? Or does anyone recommend a good front to go with the rear? Also, will a 110 or 120 be too wide for our stock fenders?

yep! way to wide... that is why i made a fat bob fender work for my bike, so i can go to a 120 front next... if not that stock front fender is going to look like a fat girl in a mini skirt, it will cover part of it, but not look pretty

Up to a 120?? I've been told the max oversize on a stock front wheel is 110??

A few months ago when I was looking at the Avon storm they recomended VENOM AM41 for the front. They have a 110/90-19

Well, this is good. Maybe I'll give that Avon Venom AM41 110/90/19 a try next for the front. I hate the way the tread looks on these stock dunlops.. kinda dumb, I know, but hey, to each his own right? Anyone have first hand experience with that tire?

Several guys around here run the 21 inch AM41 and haven't had any complaints.
