should be fine...takes a pretty special 500 to go faster than 93, and you are not gonna wanna stay there very long

Is there not a 3.25x19 front?  That size really makes these bikes steer very nice.

That's about what I thought on the speed part. I was just going for a little fatter look on the front but maybe I'll just do the 3.25 in the front thanks for the information.
