Re: the speedo - U can fit whatever size you want to the rear so long as the fronts are kept as near as possible to the standard size wheels as the speedo is driven by the front n/s wheel, it's not driven by the gearbox. Well thats what I'd always assumed?? :lol:

Keep in mind, running bigger tires on back then front will change your braking bias dramatically! Front will lock while rear keeps turning.. in slick conditions. :wink:

Bigger tires put more leverage (longer distance from center to edge of tire) on brakes. More leverage means amount of brake presure that stops stock size will not stop bigger tire. :wink:
