I am thinking of dropping a size on the front of my 1500 Wanting to use a 120/70 ZR 18 Dunlop D205. Will this cause any problem because of size? I am already running radial tires but the front is cupping bad. Have a new Dunlop here to go on my Kawasaki Concours. Thinking of installing it.

You will increase your stopping distance.

Project on hold. Found a jknot on the rear tire. New swet with about 7,000 miles on them. Front looks like it is trying to cup some. Felt a vibration on way homwe. Just figured it was the front because I could feel it in the bars heavy around 30 to 35. Checking everything over and found a bad spot on rear. Called where I bought them, they said warrantee, bring it back.

Not from the factory. But if you ever ride one that has a set you will want a set too.
