thanks for the info!
i went 120/70-18 front, 190/50/17 rear with the shinko 011 verge. i'll update some reviews once i get them, the swingarm and the wheel.
$213 shipped from bikebandit. there was a seller on ebay with a set of 011 but different sizes for 188 with shipping. i may ask when it comes about time to switch next time if they'd offer a deal in the sizes i want.

are you sure the 190 will fit in your swingarm?
mr morley has reported it will

Yeah he will be fine I have the 180 and have plenty of room left. It makes a difference on your wheel width also. If is a narrower rim it will suck in the tire more to fit larger tires.

Would like to see pics of the swingarm when you get it, I will also probably go with Sean's swingarm when it is time for a new rear tire. Last I talked to Sean, he said they were working on a new design for their swingarm that will fit with a Mark's 4-2 exhaust.
Is this what yours will looks like?

That swingarm design is, uhmm, familiar.........(well, in my head anyway!)
I was just looking at the swingarm today thinking on how to brace it (don't want the old girl to end up like my old Zed........with umpteen frame cracks!), and thought, why not just weld a hoop straight to each arm?
DAMN! Synchronisity! :biglaugh:

ALMOST as cheap as the tourmasters, haha:

$60 front, $110 for a 190 rear, not a bad price. i may pick up another rear.
i don't like how the 120 cups so much up front, i'd rather do a 110 or 100 I think, but overall it seems like a great tire..

How about the any sport bike front 17"?
Just an adapters and here ya go.
We will figure out something.
I should have some time at winter.
Oh and btw.
If anyone is intrested with zx9 rear and my current complete rear end they will be for sell at winter with very good price.
The zx is almost done, with all adapters, caliper bracket, clutch hub and bearings in place.
Unfortunetly customer resign from this project. Need to sell.
I need some funds for another crazy project :biglaugh:

i'd be very interested in converting to a sport bike front wheel, but depends on price and options:
1. i'd want to keep my current speedo setup (although it would be very off) so i'd have to think about it.
2. would nto want to modify forks or front suspension
3. would like to keep rotors/calipers.
u have any idea if all thats possible?

Lets just say You will pay for shipping and You will owe me a beer in distant future LOL
Speedo can be keept but You will need diffrent gearing which is easy swap form fz??? I bealive.
Forks will stay untouched as with the rotors.
Like Im sayin, only adaptors!

so this morning it was still damp out from the overnight showers. decided to test the tire. at a stoplight, gunned it, front end in the air, no rear end slipage. not bad on a road that was saturated. no standing water but very close...

How much could cost a radial tire conversion front and rear ready to bold ?
Aftermarket wheels can already be a little pricey so I wonder if a conversion is the way to go.
