Nozzle,

The factory Metzlers have been pretty good, but a few weeks ago I was doing a pretty aggressive ride with a buddy who has a tuned Honda 954 and I reached the limit of the ME04's. The scrub patten went all the way out to the sidewall edge and the tires started to get greasy... to the point that in a right hand knee dragger the back end stepped out and I nearly low-sided the bike in grand fashion.

I would probably go with a factory sized rear tire had I not just inherited a nearly new set of Pilot's that spec out as 190 for the rear.

In other news... anybody know if the Interceptor's computer will freak out if I install a set of aftermarket headers, eliminate the cat, and run the stock exhaust silencers (it sounds odd, but I actually like the look of the factory mufflers)? Would such a combo add any power (I know that it would shed some weight).
