  This year the bikes getting a style change and I am trying to figure out a few things and was hoping you all could help!

  I have an image attached and what I am trying to determine is tire size. I want to switch to the Firestone Champion Deluxe tires like what's on this bike here. I just need to figure out size. Secondly the rear fender here looks like maybe it's the front fender modified and mounted on the rear. I know that is a common mod and have started doing that myself. And lastly the tank. Can't seem to find that anywhere so it's possible that's custom.  
  
  
  

  anyone seen or know anything about this bike? It's pretty damn sweet!

  @Steven King The front tire is a firestone deluxe champion 4.00-19. you can get them here - https://shoptjbc.com/products/firestone-deluxe-champion-motorcycle-tire-325-19-400-19-500-16

  The rear tire is likely a chinesum tire - really wouldnt put too much speed on it, but you can get them on aliexpress - heres a link - t.ly/HkVEO

  hope that helps! dont forget to get new rim strips and tubes! 

  Personally cant stand the front fender as a rear fender look, but you do you boo =) 
  the tank, i can make you something like that if you're interested in a custom job =) 

  DO FUN SHIT!
