[ST] Front tire size

["pete licht" <aloishus@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The spec front tire is a 120 (wide) 70 (high).  I was thinking of changing 
to a 120/60/17. This would lower the front end by 10mm, resulting in more 
radical rake/trail numbers -- which should make for quicker steering.  Has 
anyone done this?  Or has anyone increased the rear shock ride hight? Or has 
anyone raised the forks in the triples by 10 mm?  If so how does it affect 
handling?

Right now I have the forks raised about 3mm above the tripleclamps,  so I 
could drop them down to stock or 1mm below and only change the numbers by 
about 6mm.

Cheers,

Pete
