Has any of the Dark Siders tried this 140 front tire? It's interesting how 1 cm of tire width can make such big change.

silly i know but will this 140 effect the abs ?

NO. If you keep the back tire at the stock size the difference in the smaller front tire is within the ABS tolerance to work correctly.

I take it you are talking about Roadsters here? Does the 140 up front have the same effect on touring and other models?

Does having white walls help?...........yes I am kidding.

Yes Roadsters sir. White walls slow anything down.

No, and it'll work with the larger Excedra Max rear.

The difference is very noticeable even on darkside. I also have the 140 avon and will stay with it. As stated it feels much lighter and more responsive.

Well since I am just over 200 miles on the bike it will be awhile, but when the time comes sound like the thing to do.
