A good find. Worth considering binning those tyres if they’re that old😉 |

It's your choice, but I seriously wouldn't fancy using 17 yr old tyres on the IOM! |

welcome Just be aware that when you change the tyres it’s normally recommended to change wheel bearings as well and be very VERY, carful when tightening up axle bolt Not to overdo it ,or you could crush the wheel bearing spacer (aluminium ) and overload the new bearing so as they fail very quickly . might be an option to take it to  Maz in Manchester our local Buell expert

New tyres are a definite and thanks for the advise on the on the bearings, looks like the TT is off this year which is a shame but on the plus side there will be plenty of time for the service. New pipe turned up too

You should think about removing the reflectors off the front forks too |
