Re: front tyre

looks, weight, handeling??

Less contact patch for braking! :shock:

Caddy is correcto. Skinner tire will have worse braking performance if the rubber isn't stickier. You'll also eat the tread faster because of weight distribution on smaller contact patch. You should get quicker steering response depending on the tire's profile because of less weight of tire. Personally, I wouldn't go skinnier than 130mm. When you have 800 pounds of machine and 80 to 90 percent of your stopping and cornering performance pins on that front tire, you want adequate contact patch.

If you do go skinnier, check tire specs to make sure it fits rim width, which is 3.5" I think.

I test drove one of those Victory with the 250 in the back and the skinny wheel in the front. Anyway I locked the front wheel 3 times in 15 minutes. Not even braking hard! I had the bike for an hour and I brought it back after 15 mins, no thanks.

The 150 locks up dead easy so i wouldnt put anything skinnier on.
