Ordering new tires for the XS850 build today. Going to go with the Shinko 705's.
Front will be a 110/80-19. Question is... Should we go with a 120/90-17 or the 130/80-17 or the 130/90-17?
Interested in pro's and con's of the 120 vs 130 mainly. From my research it sounds like a 130 might be a little more stable at highway speeds because it's wider, but the 120 might offer better/quicker handling. I've never ridden on tires anywhere close to this large, or bike anywhere near as heavy as this one, so I have no idea what to expect out of tires this size.
Any opinions/input appreciated.
