Factory tires from '87! Advice on building a stand for taking both tires off?
1987 Rebel 250 new to me. Obviously needed new tires and I've got some ordered I can hopefully get put on next week. Anyways I was curious how old these are and turns out that 3 digit tire date codes are pre-2000, first 2 are week and last is the last digit of the year it was made. So 306 would be 30th week of a year ending in 6 so 86 or 96. Bike is an 87 so 86 tires would make sense and Google says these would have come with Bridgestones or Dunlops and they are the big B.
Scariest part is the dude I bought it from put over 1000 miles on it recently! I'm scared to even take it to the bike shop to get the new tires put on. Could I make a stand so my bike could rest upright with both wheels off? Seems like the exhaust is the lowest part of these, is that okay? Thanks in advance
