Greetings everyone! Very interesting forum!

I've got a 2002 Honda ACE deluxe 750
front tire- 120/90/17
rear tire- 170 / 80/15

My idea was to give the front of the bike that Exile fat front tire look, then fab my own fender.
Has anyone maxxed out their front tire on their ACE?
I was thinking of a 180 series MC tire for the front......got to measure it first in a store.

My stock tire measures 5" across...........I'd like to get 6- 6 1/2 inches wide up front
Any other ACE guys out there......?
Thanks,
Kenny S

I was measuring with the fender on.....I'd have to remove everything for a real world look.

How is the profile of that rear tire compared to stock?
shorter /wider?
