I too am getting ready to switch to the 190/55 profile. Can you tell me your thoughts on better handling etc? Im very curious.I have a gen 2 and did the raising links and noticed the same thing and even when running the 190/55 rear tire it sat fine. It did give u a little more lean but hadn't cause me any issues. I'm sure you already did the kickstand mod by now but if not I'd make sure that's done as well.
