Is it better just to go both 17"?.. trouble being, I want the newer rubber on the rear but dont want to mess with the front end until winter ..

EarL :-) Diablo187 05-13-2001, 12:43 AM hah.. seriously though. Will a 17" rear work with an 18" front? Anyone else have this type of setup? ------------------ imported_jeff 05-13-2001, 03:22 PM you can do it, and you won't die. in fact i think somebody here on this board has an old school gsxr with 17" rear and 18" front. but, what will probably happen is your rear will sit a little lower, slowing down steering and putting less weight on the front end. if you have an aftermarket shock with a height adjuster you could compensate for that, but if you don't, you can drop the front end a little, but of course that reduces your cornering clearance. ------------------ http://149.123.110.32/misc/bike_small.jpg | ||
