RE: Need help deciding:12.5 or 13" Progressive 440's

I JUST ADDED A TRUE-TRACK AND PROGRESSIVE 13' TO MY STREET GLIDE. WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE OVER STOCK. I TOO HAD DISCUSS WITH PROGRESSIVE MY NEEDS AND THEY TOGGLE BETWEEN THE 12.5 AND 13 FOR ME. I AM A LARGER MAN (300LBS) AND DECIDED ON THE 13 INCH BECAUSE OF IT. FOR ME IT WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE AND GLAD I MADE IT. IF I WAS A SMALLER MAN I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN THE 12.5.

Beemervet, What bike did you install the 13's on? Do you have a SG? If so, Did you notice any difference between OEM cornering and cornering with the 13inchers?
Does it feel as easy to lean?

I'm on a RG, so the 13s are the same as stock. I'm 6'5", so I do not need to lower the bike to touch the ground. For me, form follows function, but I did not really notice a difference visually with it lower anyway.
