It seems like a lot of people hate on Dunlops on here (probably because of the ****** one that come on the bike) but I really like the D209 Qualifiers that I'm running right now.
 
200? Hmmm, how much of the belt gaurd and stuff did you have to file down to make it fit? 190's rub so 200's ummmm. yeah.
Im telling you, the steeper angle is nothing more that the tire being deformed by a wheel not made for such a tire. Oh well, to each there own I guess. Just keep in mind that no matter how much you tell yourselves how much lower you get witha wide tire, your fooling yourselves. You can get even lower with a tire thats fits correct. Like I said, dont take my word for it, research it, you'll see.

Theres a quick thread above. You can find these everywhere.
 
shiloh, im with you. I have a brand new set of qualifiers on my bike that I really like.

zoedogg1, there is a guy on Buelletinboard that put a 200 on his bike with doing nothing more than taking off the upper belt guard.
 
just wondering...what is the stock rear tire size on an 03' xb9s.? i currently have a 170/60 ..but isn't a 180/55 the correct tire? Thanks for any input.

yes, a 180/55 is stock for the buells.

the xbrr has a 190 stock and i know a few racers that changed that to a 180 for better handling.

as zoedogg1 said, the leanangle is when the bike starts hitting the ground.
if i had more lean-angle, my foot would be caught between bike & ground...no a 180 is good enough for me.
