190 on a 6th gen?

Stinkus · 09-08-2008, 07:46 AM

on my recent purchase on my 03 i need some new meat on the rear and was wondering if a 190 will fit. and if any one has tried and if they liked the results

Id imagine it would just be the cool factor...the curve on a 180 normally allows the bike to "flip" quicker which is why a lot of guys put 180s on literbikes that came equipped with 190s, but its all subjective i guess. And to help you out in no way, im not sure if it would fit lol...

It would most likely fit, but your steering would be slower, affecting handling.
Recommendation: stay stock.

Mello dude is right, It will fit but will affect when you turn sharp corner.

ahhhhhh. i was kinda looking for the cool factor but anything has to be better than the spent shinko i have on there now. it also has prety new shinko on the front so im worried that if i put anything more than a rubber band on the back that im going to out perform that front tire. i guess ill just bite the bullet and do both ends at the same time.

My advice....keep the 180 on it, and if possible, change both at the same time.

Your the

"coolest"

when your riding nobody will notice the extra 10mm then.

Bubba Zanetti has it on good authority that its a bad idea because:

One: It slows steering.

Two: It does NOT look cool
