I'm considering going from the OEM 100/90/19 to a 110. Do you notice much difference in handling or ride with the 110? Is it worth the extra cost over the 100?
JUST ADDED: What brand/model tire did you choose and does the stock fender fit or rub the tire?
Thanks for your input.
I like the looks a lot more and I did notice better handling but I think that more cause I went from a crap tire to a good tire... not cause of the size difference

Put the Avon Venom 110 on and it made a big difference, even compared to the so-so stocker. Looks way better IMO. The downside for me was now the stock fender didn't cover the tire so I went with a bigger fender (not in my sig yet).
Yep I'm also running a 110/90/19. Lots of tar snakes up here where I live and while the difference in width is small I feel that any increase would be better in my opinion. Plus I tend like the fat look up front.

Was the tire rubbing? What do you mean "didn't cover the tire"?
On my 2007 Street Bob I've got the Avon Venom 110/90x19..handles much better and looks better.Avons are usually a touch over the actual size by a few mm.What I think nevil means is that looking from the top down the fender doesnt cover the tire width,looks like a bikini fender lol. My tire fits and doesnt rub anywhere but mines an 07,dont know if the SB's from 09 had their fenders closer to the OE tire ? in which case rubbing might occur..anyway less of the blab and heres some pics of mine...yea dont get confused..its an 07 with black 2010 SB rims..
I put a Dunlop D404 110/90x19 on the front of my '07 StreetBob. It looked really
killer. As far as I could tell, it handled well. I didn't ride it much because I got a
new Wide Glide and was busy riding it. Then I traded the '07 Bob for an '11 Bob.
When the '11 StreetBob needs new rubber on the front, I will go with an Avon because
it is wider than the Dunlop.
