Title: front tire sizes
Post by: mach1 on September 24, 2007, 05:52:37 PM
is it possible to run a 120/60/17 front tire? I know the whole the stock size is mor than enough but I would like a little bigger since im going bigger in the rear.

The real question is:  How many times daily were you dropped on your head as a child??? :thumb:

Well, they were already on when I bought it, but my bike has a 120/60-17 front tire, 160/60-17 Rear.
