[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 1415394, member: 21394"] The 190/55-17 rear can really increase the bike turn-in, but if you don't have an aftermarket shock and may be a few millimeters of ride height from that, the performance will be poor. A bigger tire needs more dampening and shock travel than a worn OEM shock can provide. In my case I also nearly doubled the front springs (Gen I), but even on your 2008 an increase in spring rate is needed, and it would not hurt to do a rebuild or at least a fork oil change. [/QUOTE]
