With the bike on OE tyres and 200 profile at the rear i ride round my favourite bends just as hard as i do on my Bandit 12. The difference is on the Bandit 12 i get about 5mm from the tyre edge on both sides, BUT not so on the Bking. probably about 15mmm from the edge.

Does anyone else notice this??

same here but weather ain't warm enough for a full tilt over.. i am a bit paranoid in sliding the king.. bandit was / is a ruff ole girl so wern't to bothered..

I have at one time not the king of course used sand paper with the wheel spinning just so it looked good

On a warm sunny day you'll find it easy to get to the edge of the tyre. Iv'e just had a new rear so have chicken strips at the mo but that will change when the sun comes out... Can't wait !!!

none on the left hand side,but about 10mm on the right, ...that with 2CTs 190/50

aH... but how close would you get to the edge on an OE 200 profile?
190 allows you to get closer, am i correct?

Saying that i am now about 10 mm on each side untouched. The more i ride it i'm sure i'll get nearer but with only 400 miles done it takes awhile, especially after a winter of little riding.
