Ye master will beat me if he sees this in here, so be quick people

stock tyres are 120/60/17
160/60/17

What else will fit?

can i do a 120/70/17 on front? or does it catch front gard?

The height increase will be 12mm, go and have a measure.

120/60 height = 120 * 0.6 = 72mm
120/70 height = 120 * 0.7 = 84mm

I had an avon pro extreme wet fitted in 120/70 because that's the size that Avon sent me http://www.motorbikestoday.com/features ... n_wets.htm
But generally speaking I cant for the life of me understand why you would want to change what is fitted.
