I'll look around again and see what sizes they say will fit, but I'll definitely look into the Pirellis.

It looks like quite a few people recommend the 100/90-16 front tire. Better wear and a softer ride. It also looks like the swingarm and shock bracket have to be "modified" to fit a larger rear tire. It doesn't sound to hard. Just grinding off 1/4" of material.

I don't need that crap. I use all NoMar tools. The rim protectors are built into my tools.

Give me a text or a PM. We can arrange something. I just need to know ahead of time.
