I have a Metzler 140/90 and Suzuki saddle bag supports and factory sissy bar. I haven't had any problems with the bolts rubbing the tire. Some of the bolts that came with the sissy bar/pillion handles were almost too short when I added the saddle bag supports.

Pirelli route66 are one of the higher rated tires,they made my Suzuki 1500 handle a lot better and also improved the ride which was already good. I have a rear for my s40 but haven't put it on yet. Check out the rating on tires before you buy.
I put these on my s40 front and rear - WOW! lovin the ride.

Pirelli rout66 140/90 is the way to go. i used to run the dunlop 404s but when i hit a crack or seam in the road it would pull. i use the pirelli and it stopped pulling and actually last longer! and i have to saddle bag stays and i have had no problems.

Be careful about dragging these pegs. The rubber under the right side was cut back so far I had to "sew" it back together w/ some wire.

You can achieve the same result by simply installing a fork brace.
