160/80 is about as big as you can go without doing anything and have the backstock.

Re:New Tires? 10 Months ago  
Yeah,I been using the Metzlers 880's for about 5yrs now.I'd say you'll pretty happy with them.Nice ride,easier cornering and they make the bike feel easier to handle.Keep the air right and you'll get good mileage out of them.I got about 6500 mi out of my last rear and I do alot of 2 up riding with my 125lb wife,and I'm 205.

Big Bear,

Was it you who posted once that you were running the Dunlop 404s? Curious what others' experience has been with them.
