Yep, you'll be a bit faster at wide open. MINOR change in handling. Ive been running the taller rear since the OEM tire died. I doubt you can feel the difference. I cant.

Watch out if you have saddle bag brackets.  You may find that the side rail bolts rub against the larger tire.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.
