I wondered why they used a 17" rear for the 200 on my bike. I never heard the high speed wobble thing before. I am running an 18"x4.25" rear on my '07 but it's only got a 150/60/18 on there. No high speed issues with either.

exactly - had 18/200 on my 09 RG - the wobble was so bad - I immediately removed it waste of $240
