hi chaps....ive got a 180 pilot road on my firestorm.....can i replace it with a 190 ????? is there enough room with my swing arm....someone help....
If you do a search on here you'll find that this has been discussed to death and the verdict is that it Buggers up the handling and generally does'nt suit the bike. Some one will jump in at some point and explain the techy details as too why etc but not a recommended mod.
And as Barry says it will fit no probs. Sorry Simon and welcome to the site

"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."
The wider section of a 190 effectively slows the steering. The bike won't "tip" into a corner as easily as with a 180 section.
In fact if you look at a lot of the proddy racers they'll dump the standard 190 tyre, fitted to a lot of bikes, in favour of a 180 to sharpen up the handling and make the bike a bit more flicky

180 vs 190
well thanx everyone for that advise........ill stick with the 180......ive only just had it a few months,sold my ninja and got this firestorm.my 1st twin and i love it...the grin factor is still there.just one thing ..ive got high level cans on and what a crap design for the rear pegs....long bolts which feel like they will snap if you even think about resting a foot on....and silly ally tubes for extentions...any ideas.......
