    Your sizes are wrong for that wheel. Don't get some skinny thing, and especially not underwidth and under aspect.

        Because you're not running a large wheel like on the stock bike, and you don't want to exacerbate the quick turn-in that 16" wheels are already known for. In addition, it would just look strange.

            That's the one. I run the 120 on my GS1150ES, but you will be good to go with that size, which is also correct for the rim.
