tire question

Am wanting to put a rear on the front. The 880 is wearing great but is close to done with only 7000 miles. Who here, if any, has gone double darkside?
Wanting opinions...

Can you get one skinny enough?

150/80-17 is standard and I have close to
3/4" on each side. Bridgestone makes a SpitFire S 11 in a rear 130/90-17.
That should fit no problem. Less an a percent difference to the negative side.

Visit the Wing forums. The big bikes tend to do this alot more. No problems that I'm aware of. Just make sure that you get the right size and mount it in the right direction. I THINK that you mount it backward from the given rotation so that braking is enhanced in wet conditions. Just a guess though.

you might want to go to the darkside forum, I think Jerry has done it.
