Whats the widest tyre that can be fitted on '92 gsxr11(hoping to get a 190 on,it was free)
Will 15/50 front/rear sprockets fit on the above bike with no trouble(I think 16/48 is standard)

I had a micky thompson 190 on a 5.5 91 1100 rim. It comes close to the chain and trailing arm but did fit.
I thought the sprockets stock were 15/48-- 15/50 works just fine I liked it.

Playing with tire size effects turn in time. To fit a 190 rear you will have to modify the brake arm. This is simple pull it off, and either bend it slightly, or take a sander and polish it down

pete1k,
Do you think me putting a 120 ZR17 Dunlop 207GP on a 3.75" wheel I will be breaking down the side wall stifness? I am not sure if a 120 belongs on a wheel wider than 3.5"?
