i ran 36f a couple of times way back when. what a mistake. the front felt heavy and the road was so harsh.
i do 33f and 36-42r for the street.

 

i run 54f 32r. SIKEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

34 40r with shinko stealths. I let it down a little because the tires don't really have much of a tread pattern.

 

For the hand buzziness-HVMP bar ends FTW

 

I agree.But not everyone will..

Sitting postion helps 85% but the other 15% will be helped by the bar ends..I have them on mine(extra heavy versions).

 

i run 26f/30r for long street rides thisfeels good for fast agressive riding
and 26/25 for shorter rides but im a stunt rider so i like the lower for wheelies :-)

 

How does position affect the buzziness?

When sitting in the correct position,there is less weight on your hands and arms.Then with a better riding position you notice the "buzziness" a LOT less..I know when i got my f4i ,my hands would feel almost numb after driving for anything over 15 mins..Now i can ride for hours with no issues.

 

i only notice it after a few hours of riding. i don't really put much weight on the bars tho.

 

Well I guess my followup to that is, what is the correct riding position? Not being a smart ***, just asking for my knowledge

1) You DON'T want a "death grip" on your handlebars 2) Your wrist should be "parallel" with the road 3) The "*****" of your feet should be on the pegs...are just a few pointers.

If you havent taken one ,i HIGHLY recommend a MSF BRC course.It will help you no matter how long you have been riding.
