Heidenau K67 are pretty close to looking like original. 4.00-18 and 3.25-19 are available on eBay.

Other brands are available in 4.00-18 and 2.75-21 but the 3.25-19 is limited in choice. Metric sizes are available.
The hours spent riding my Enduros is not deducted from my life span.

The 4.00x18 in a trials type tread is fairly easy to source. That 3.25x19 is all but extinct! If you want originality (Japanese Dunlops I believe?) you will have to hunt. If the brand is not that important but the tread style is, I think you have to go with the Heidenau.

That way you would at least have new rubber.
