I would like to specify running the twisties.

Anybody have any experience using a 190/55 rear?
Clearance issues using a hugger?
I thought the extra height may help this beast turn in better.

Maybe I should start another thread?
But while I'm at it, experiences using Ohlins ride height adjustable shock.

Thanks again.

I said 34 F/R for the twisties, but that does depend on the rider as well, and what kind of feedback you want.

No clearance issues on a stock bike with a 190/55. It doesn't help it turn better IMO ...the bike honestly turns well as it is....just shift and place your weight better.
