i Have the michelin tires both front and rear 110 in front and 140 in rear no handling issues at all. Look these bikes were engineered with this size for a reason going and changing stock **** is fun yes, but can sometimes alter your bike in funny ways mine is completly stock and runs perfect. I have maintaned it extremely well and this in return is an extremly rteliable bike. Just some food for thought.
I was running the stock sizes of 110/80 and 130/80 for 4 years and ofcourse the bike handled good. I just recently bought 110/70 140/70 Battlax's and I never though my old bike could handle this great, even with a slipping clutch!

I just rode my bike for the first time with the new 110/70/17 and 150/70/17 Sport Demons also. It is a whole new bike with these tires. Why do people put mis-matched, wrong size, non-sport bike tires on?
The same thing happened on my last Hurricane. The thing rode like crap until I put the right tires on it. But, I did not know the difference because it was my first sport bike.
