    The second one will most likely cost more as its a higher speed rating...ie its rated for 150MPH whereas the top one is 130MPH.

    All things being equal go with the lower speed rated one as you will never get that fast anyway...

    So far so good you can feel the size difference in corners

    If you have a sissy bar you do not need a widening kit from HD

    Hey, thanks for posting that pic, looks great in my opinion.

    When you say you feel the difference in the cornering -- how do you mean? better or worse?

    Thanks

    a bit harder to tip in and much harder to get to the edge of the tyre if at all
