this is the before and after. still lower then stock but way higher then before.

two on the left are before, and the right are after today.

 

Its stretched too? I cant tell by the pix. I understand lowering a bike if one is too short for the bike.

bike looks good tho.

 

dont look too close LoL. ya not by much though, i kinda like it a hair longer but iam still lookin a bare swingarm at my price. rode today afterwards but the roads were wet, suposed to be nice tommorow. iam 6'0 right on the money.

 

Rumor has it anything over 180 makes the handling squirrely. I know you want the look, but also bare in mind the performance decrease from adding that much rotational mass. Even saving the 8 pounds by using aluminum chain and sprockets makes a world of difference, and your tire is going to be the same. You're not rising a 200hp cruiser, here. Those things can handle the massive tires cuz the engines are made to lug around that boatload of extra steel and chrome they got strapped to them. Your bike is meant to be as light as possible, so it can smoke anything in it's wake without needing a massive engine to do it.

 

leave it stock, 190's just make it turn slower theres no point.

 

you put a 190 on an F2 wheel before?

 

+1 leave it stock.

 

haha no i just meant going to a fatter tire than stock is pointless other than the look of a bigger tire you just get a crappy handling bike, stocks best bro i used to have a fzr600 along time ago and hated that tiny 140 rear so i used to buy 150's or 160 and ya it looked more modern but rode weird.

 

your still speaking from experiance which is what i like! no matter now though cause that bike is gone now. got me an RR, and the tires are stock on it and gona stay that way.

 

CONCIDER the fact that even hard core road race bikes still retain the stock size(AMA),they olny change the compound NOT THE SIZE. The handling goes to chit with a bigger tire, my buds have tried it on all diff. bikes and the result is the same. peace
