The speedo reads off the front wheel so I suppose there will be an issue there. As for the side-stand, once you've seen Rictus' bike lean at about 45 degrees on it's stand you'll know it's not a problem .

If that's fitted then I want to know where you get yours done.

I was told by dealer that fitted my 120/70 front it would affect speedo bt not by much... I'm struggling to remember but think he said overread rather than under... but don't take it as gospel

Don't quote me on this but I think it will under-read. The tyre will have a larger circumference so will travel slightly further each turn than the 60 profile. This means that the speedo will read for example 30mph but in fact you will be going slightly faster than that because of the larger circumference.

I have lost myself now.....Cheque please

Probably a combination of the fact that the speedos over-read anyway and the fact that speed camera sensors all seem to be set quite high atm.
