****... I did not think of rim width... I ordered new tires today, and the front I ordered was a 120/90-18. I can only pray that it will fit, even if it is a bit tight on the stock rim. If it does not fit, I may have to look for an 18x2.5 rim that will fit a V-max...
it'll fit fine, i've ran that size on stock rims since 2008. Its not as nimble, and more susceptible to a headshake, but the speedo is more accurate and I think it looks better.
