Rear Tire Size for 1200
« on: January 26, 2015, 12:37:53 PM »
I wonder if anyone has gone to a 170 rear tire to quicken the steering?

My mechanic recomended going to a 190... If you want to quicken your stearing, i think you want to raise your rear end to change your rake angle. Like swappingout a longer shock like a Hayabusa, or putting in longer links to lift it.
