Did a thread awhile back when I put the 200mm on my Slim. Finally got it the way I want it and decided to share a few pics. I know there are some who don't like the 200mm on a Slim, just making the bike my own.
did you notice any hesitance in slow turns and maybe a lighter or more vague feel in the front on faster turns? Looks good and wondering if it's worth it for me.
What rotors are you using? They're sharp looking.
I think the bike handles better and I don't seem to drag the boards as much. The tire was only 1/2" taller, maybe the extra width helps too? The bike was already lowered 1.5 " so I left it at that height. Those are Wilwood rotors, got them from Jegs

I find it very hard to believe that the bike would handle better with that wide flat tire on it.

It feels better in the turns to me, may be in part because my old back was slightly worn flat in the middle. I did not notice any decrease in maneuverability at low speed or at speed in the curves. Feels like it comes out of the curves smoother, was a bit different going into curves at first. The tire is wider, but it is not flat.
