I'm happy with it ......   Freezerburn Posted on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 - 11:14 am:        Isn't throwing a 190 on a stock rim just like puttin' on an XXL condom when the best performance would be gained from an XL. PUT THE RIGHT RUBBER ON (-:   Tbowdre Posted on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 - 12:51 pm:        After reading those links Im trying a 190/50/17 next   Barker Posted on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 - 01:26 pm:        An article from sport rider mag. "Does Size Matter" http://www.sportrider.com/tech/tires/146_0206_tire_size/   Hogs Posted on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 - 04:32 pm:        Seems to me better to stick to the 180...   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 - 05:41 pm:        Read the artical above. Not much of a SportRider mag. fan. Not saying they are wrong but everything they say about how there bike handled with the 190...tippy sluggish??? Sorry my bike felt nothing like that.   No_rice Posted on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 - 05:53 pm:        ya thats kinda what i was thinking. i have never had those problems with mine either.   Hogs Posted on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 - 06:01 pm:        YEah, BAds1 so you are running the 190 as well, YEah know what ya mean about SportRider...   Bads1 Posted on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 - 06:06 pm:        Also they are the same mag that could set up the XB to properly handle correctly.   Davy_boy Posted on Thursday, October 19, 2006 - 01:41 pm:        My bike handles just fine , in fact it seems to handle better in certain road conditions ..   Tx05xb12s Posted on Friday, October 20, 2006 - 01:36 am:        I run Corsas on my bike with a 190 rear. I think this setup is superior to the D208's I started out with, and it looks tough too. As for whether or not the belt guards clear the tire or not, I don't know. I took those and a bunch of other stuff off the bike the first week I owned it (rear footpegs, stalk mirrors, rear fender, intake snorkel, rt. side engine trim where the aftermarket air scoop is supposed to be mounted). I thought I was doing all the good trimming weight off my bike until I swapped in the Corbin seat. I love it so don't get me wrong, but that thing weighs a ton.   Pwnzor Posted on Friday, October 20, 2006 - 01:49 am:        A good seat is going to be heavy. I figure since I don't quite get to the edge of the 180 tire, I'll leave it. No point having more tire if I don't use it.   Tbowdre Posted on Friday, October 20, 2006 - 01:50 am:        FWIW cycle gear,www.cyclegear.com, is still runnin a pirelli tire special for web sales. I didnt get a "were sold out email" after my buy earlier today   Goozyman Posted on Friday, October 20, 2006 - 07:28 am:        one question, why on earth would you want to have a 190? unless you dont like the whippy way XB's handle and need something to restrict the awesome handling.   Bads1 Posted on Friday, October 20, 2006 - 07:49 am:        Opinion's very!!! Sorry but it doesn't effect the handling any.   Tx05xb12s Posted on Friday, October 20, 2006 - 12:30 pm:        Bowdre - Thanks for the $$$ saving tip! It's time for new tires again, so I'll check them out. I usually buy from americanmototire.com, but I'll check prices @ www.cyclegear.com too. As for the 190, I do want maximum performance, but I like the look and I'm pretty sure I ride just as good either way. Dunno, maybe I'm not pushing it hard enough. Need to find some good twisties. What I've found so far just aren't enough to really challenge the bike.   Tx05xb12s Posted on Friday, October 20, 2006 - 12:33 pm:        Hey I just looked at Corsa prices on cyclegear and they're WAY more expensive than http://www.americanmototire.com. Check them out.   Brineusaf Posted on Friday, October 20, 2006 - 12:56 pm:        the deal at cycle gear isn't for corsa's. it's for the diablo supersport.
