thanks in advance guys/gals
I know exactly what you mean with the search feature...I have yet to find anything I've attempted to look for with it...
Yes you can mount clip-ons under your tripple. A lot of people do, actually. Having them higher just makes for easier reach.
As far as tires go, I ALWAYS suggest Bridgestone BT 45H's. If you want something a little more sticky and can fit a 150, I'd suggest hitting up some 020's.
There are a lot of tire opinions here, though, so don't be suprised to here 30 different answers to that question.
Tires... Pirelli Sport Demons or Metzeler Lasertecs in the stock sizes...

yes it is but some have had clearance issues with mounting the stock headlight. Those that have done it trouble free were race bikes only, no headlights. so thats the issue there.

he's gone but do a search for tires and his member ID and you'll likely come up with a post or two of his where he gives a link to his long term tire chart.
