Larger rear tire?

Hey there: I am going to instal new tires tomorrow, on my 2007. Any thoughts on installing a 190 on the back instead of the 180? I think it will fit on the rim. Anhy comments on handling possibilities? The 180 handles great, don't want to mess that up.
Cheers

then leave it......why ruin a good thing...........

 

Just leave the 180 back there. The only thing a 190 will do is make the turn in slower due to the flatter profile.

 

Bro, Install the correct tire specifications for your 6th Gen. You don't want to buy a size 12 shoes if your size 9.

 

Installed 190 by mistake on my ex 5th gen.like BWeiss said,slower turn,looks good but that is all...

 

The 180 is perfect and I would not mess with a sure thing.

 

Like evryone said, Strongly not recommended.

 

move to a 170 for a real treat, speeds up steering...

 

I had this urge when I had my VTX1800. I went from 180 to 200 and shorter shocks.
Bike got so bad that I was afraid to turn it in a small turns. It would dive into the turn after certain point and you will have to muscle it into the turns.
Cost me almost a grand to change the bike to 200 and I could not deal with it, that said it force me to get VFR and I am happy with it.

Thanks everyone! Good advice. I took it. Installed a pair of bt 016's today. Cycle gear has them on sale for 200 for the pair
