Haven't really geek'd out my Buell, but I was wanting to put on a wider rear tire. Currently there is a 180 on it (factory pirelli scorpion). What are your thoughts on throwing on a 190? a 200? | ||

I've got a 190 on now. Wanted to try one out. Okay..not great....handledd better with the 180. Not a lot, but enough to change my mind on another. I will be putting on a 180 again once I burn this one off... | ||

do what you want. 190 works fine. i am by no means easy on it either. went through 2. will be back to a 180 but only because i rounded up a set with a rear 180 for over 100 bucks cheaper. | ||

Why do you need a wider tire? If she needed a bigger patch I am guessing the Buell techs would have issued it. If I found out anything with the Ninja I sold to get my 9R, there is a reason things are the way they are when you buy a bike. | ||

It will certinaly not add anything to the handling of your bike. If it is just for the aesthetics thats fine but I believe you may have a problem fitting a 200 on the wheel and between the swingarm. There are some custom swing-arms out there but they are pretty expensive. Good luck. |
