I have 110 and 150 17 inchers on my VJ23 and they work beautifully.
Hard to find good sticky tires for small bikes.
Good luck on the RZ....hope you have a large amount of $$$ saved back....they can drain a bank account quick.

I've managed to accumulate a fair amount of cash with the sale of my RGV and KTM last year.  Bill's 1st estimate for the complete (but not a higher spec performance)rebuild was pretty stiff but reasonable given his use of almost all OEM Yamaha parts and attention to detail.  As luck would have it I gifted myself a set of Gus Christenson's crankshafts for X-mas when he was selling them for $600/pair shipped. Using the new cranks will save significant amount $ on the final price... Will be nice to have an essentially completely restored engine.

Looks great!  Love the idea of the Conti SM's...  they are the only tires Ive run on my Aprila and KTM Sumo's for the past 5 years or so. Going to "borrow" your idea! 
Waiting to have Bill Wilson contact me to start the rebuild of my RZ500 engine.  May be riding by end to the summer.
