if you're bike is fi and you have a powervision tuner you can do it with that. some of the other flash tuners as well, though i'm not sure which ones.

with an 18" rear you would likely have a low profile tire, no?

then the total height of the tire and wheel might be similar to that of the stock combo.

that should make for a minor difference in the speedo

if your wheel and tire combo is alot higher, you'll need to check clearance inside the fender- it is easier to move the wiring than to have it chewed up on the road somewhere
