180 rear, handling?

i know the whole 180 rear question has been asked loads of times and i know a bandit rear wheel with 180 tyre bolts straight over (i`ve just finished doing it) but nobody has said how it will affect the handling. Can anyone tell me what to expect. Cheers

What was the reason for changing over, seems a strange thing to do if you don't know what affect it'll have. :confused:

It'll generally slow the turning in (one of the reasons the old 748 turned in better than the 916), however from a cosmetic point of view, some like the larger rear rubber.

Cheers Mark.

good question so long story short. While riding home from box hill yesterday i got a puncture, it was a key, one of those ones for back door locks the big b*****d ones! so anyway due to not having any money but having a 600 bandit in the garage i thought sod it i`ll try it. Depending on how it handles and depending on when i get a job depends on weather i`ll go back to the standard tyre or not. Anyone know what the new BT021`s are like?

Fair enough, let us know what you think.

Na sorry, I don't know the guy myself and requested threw a friend, haven't heard anything back as of yet and wouldn't be surprised if I don't, can't really do anything more to help you out, but if I do I'll let you know.

Cheers Mark.

I noticed in your reply that it is a 600 Bandit rear! That will not take a 180 section tyre saftly as it is 4.50in rim and you need a 5.50in rim to take a 180!!
