208 GP's don't come in that size.

Careful Arnie- if Gregg is saying 208gp's he means it.  Maybe a different rim size for GP class?

298 GP's are made in a 150/17 that worked fantastic on the stock rear wheel.

We also tried the 155 rear slick and had great luck with that as well.

FullMoon, pretty much anything you could even think of for the SV, Gregg knows it inside and out. He is the Sport Twin Guru, check him out, you wont be disapointed.

Anyone say a 93rwhp SV??

You can run the 208's in a 120 front and a 150 rear. I think that was what Spears was running.

Arnie,Im sorry for leaving out that the size is a 150/208.....from all of the SV's Iv seen at the track most of them have a least a 5mm chicken strip on each side of the tire, so if you subtract the total of 10mm from a 160......it leaves you with a 150...like I said earlier both Tristan and Brian Long tunred some pretty fast times on there Sv's this year.

So tristin how does it feel to when a GTO race on a SV?....just  curious...
