Your stock rims were designed to take a specific size tire,going bigger may look cool, but will make your bike handle poorly,as it distorts a tire that was made for a wider rim.I strongly discourage it .Good luck ,Fergie.

my mechanic used to race the 750... he says the 130.. is the biggest you can run... i am running a 130 ATM, and find that it is turning in faster... just my thought... peace
