turbo tire clearance
My kit does sit low like the velocity kit so when im aplying the front brake to agressivly i get a touch with turbo and tire. i have raised my bike up as far as it goes and just put the low profile front tire on it so it kind of got me nervous to go make a shake down on this. radiator is a little too snugged also. HELP

I've sold front tire to Velocity racing.

Re: turbo tire clearance
The radiator will eventually get a hole rubbed in it from the tire. Had the same problem on a 06. Currently running a 120/60-17 pilot on the front. Cut forks on front. Got about a little over an inch clearance on the turbo. Had to make a minor flange mod on header to push it down and back some
