A 120/60 front is also 10mm shorter than stock. That will make your speedo read faster, on top of any steering geometry changes.
I thought so.

You are correct! I forgot about the change in speedo.

No handling issues when i did it. And i went with the 60 to keep it lower for my stubby self. It handled wonderfully so i think i made a good call. I had the pilot road 4s on it. Can't wait to get them again.
