Another 150/70R17 on the 87-88 1000F concern

I just got my new tires in the mail. 110/80R17 for the front and 150/70R17 for the rear.

The concern is the 150 looks quite a bit smaller in diameter (about 1" or 25mm on each side). Will this effect suspension geometry in a bad way or do I just have to adjust my headlight?

Thanks in advance!

Finding a 140 to fit the rear is a challange, most of us use a 150, and the bike rides well. As for the light, would'nt worry to much as it makes very little diffence.
