Originally posted by dcc5266 View Post......... However, the bike is only affected by the difference in Radius, so it would be 1/2 of the difference in overall diameter. So the bike is really only affected by .5" in the rear. Lowering the front by one inch would put the bike .5" lower than factory angle, which would decrease the rake angle and increase responsiveness.
I hope that helps!
I am only looking for information from those guys and gals that have actually already went throught this and have real results to compare to. Thanks for everyone's input, I'll let everyone know what I find out by trial and hopefully not error.
I have been riding this bike on the curves for several months and have had no problem also. I am just looking for advice to get the very best out of this bike in the handling department. KatRiders is the best place to do that.Scuffin' the pucks!

@dcc dude your way overthinking the whole thing. The tuna has a really relaxed head angle to begin with. I went from a 150/70 to a 160/60 and noticed no I'll effects. Now on the buell an inch is the difference between death wobble and stupid thing only goes straight.
140/25.4= 5.51* .8= 4.41*2= 8.82+17=25.82
160/25.4= 6.30*.6= 3.78*2= 7.56+17= 24.56 and theres the calculation for your overal diamiter same for a car lol

I went from a 190/60 Conti to a 180/55 Pirelli, and although the changeover was drastic at first (wobbly), it only took a day or two for me to realize how much better it actually was.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

The axle is in the middle of the wheel, and it's height is affected by the radius of the tire.

[quote=scottynoface;1712611]yeah lol but all i wanted him to know the calculation just to know how high is tire is.... by knowing that you know where the center of the shaft is.... so like that you know the dif before you buy every thing....
