Let's hope there is a cheap option out there.

yeah the 180's and 190's are almost the standard tyre size nowadays with big bikes. makes the SV's look like a pencil's width. however it was for the SV so i guess its made for the bike. i have no problems with the handling on mine, only in the wet but i run high tyre pressures and iv got a shoulder, but in the dry i swear i'd go off the edge of a tyre one day soon. interesting how 2 same/similar bikes have such massive differences.
Tam was looking on TWF, thats what gave me the thought :P. but they had no clear answers to it, and i know guys like you, northwind and co. are up on what can and can't be done. might look into it
can't wait to get started on it
