1) Is the MHE 205/65/15 the best route to go? It seems to be the consensus.
2) When I go to the DS I read (somewhere) that I need to change my rear shocks? True or false? If so to what?
3) After changing the RT can I still/then lower my rear end by changing my shock height?
4) I am also going to Rake my front end. When I do what size rim and tire do you suggest? Going 6# on the rake.
5) Also, if any of you more experienced DS VTX'ers have any ideas or suggestions to these points please inform me and I look forward to your responses.

Thanks,
kyvtx1300c

Im running the 205 70 on a S model, and I run my shocks on setting 1 so it is low as it can go. but I beleave I could lower the rear of the bike another inch.
Dont know about the rake.
I am running special bushings , most guys can run on the number 1 setting, they get a wollowing in the rear on high speed turns.
