Need front tire help

[CLOS]

Ok I have a 04 kat thats been moded I'm running a 180 55 17 in the rear, now whats the major differance on lower profile's on the front i like the way the 120 60 17 look but my saftey is a little more important than looks will it make a big change on the bike as far as handling or should i not attempt it

[KAT TOY]

i was told not to run a 120/60-17 on my Kat. something about weight and load. how the he11 does a 180 fit on the back?

[CLOS]

Ive changed a lot on the bike it now has a gxsr 1000 swing arm and rims I started this bike as a project but looking to make it ride and drive better its been lowered new paint motor has been reworked changed swingarm its been streched i know it dosent need it but i like the look

120/60 is not designed to handle the weight of a fat bike like the Katana. But with a stretched swinger and a bigger rim you're obviously not going for a bike that handles well. It's your call.

+1 It's because of the weight.

If your worried about handling why the H would you strecht the back and put all that torque busting rubber on the rear?
