TIRE QUESTION??

[josh909]

so i know the tire size on the rear of my xb12r is 180/55-17 but will a 190/50-17 go on too? anyone ever messed with this, i like that larger look but without doin a 240 kit from grandstand....and yes i know this size would compromise the geometry of the cycle....whats your take?

190/55-17 will fit. it will have be a little bit taller, and may throw off he sppedo. it's handling effect is negotiable.
