your idears/opinions

[Valhickson]

hi guys, my v.max project is about to beguin.
but first Id like to ask for your thorghts on a few things.
1st what is the best 'rear' tyre and wheel size (must be radial tyers)?
2    what is the best 'front' tyre and wheel size (would chainging to a 17"
front wheel be good/bad/indifferent)?
3    what is the stock lencth of the rear shocks? i know i can get shorter,
but can i get longer? which is best? i already know what to do with the front
(progressive springs) and the furber fix.
are there any 'long tail' belly pans out there? ones that cover the bottom of
the engine & exhaust. UK roads are such a mess, and i need the bike through
the winter, come rain and ice and...ice, we dont see much snow since they
poked a hole in the ozone layer.
4   dose a braced swing arm make enough difference to be woth the effort and
cost?
any information you guys have would be great.
