    All,

    I have a 150R with 17's running the GPA's, a 95/70 Front and 115/70 rear.

    I rode the Herrin track on this setup and it was great
    But, when I rode my home track for the first time on this bike - the setup wasn't right.

    My home track is very point and shoot w/ slow corners and I don't feel like get enough feedback during tip-in.
    During fast sweepers, the bike is very stable and no problems.

    What tire size have you run in the front and what was the difference in feel?

    Im thinking about putting a 110 or 115 on the front just to test.

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I've got 17"x 2.5" rims on my 100. I was running the same sizes in Dunlop slicks. I found I was running out of tire on the front end and leaving chicken strips on the rear. I swapped the front to a 115 and haven't looked back. It's worked very well for me.

    I run Stock ride height in the rear and drop the front about 2 inches and it feels great. I have 2.75 inch front and bridgestones.
