i just wondered
the standard size on the arse end of an RVF400 is a 150/60 - 17
are there any other sizes that would fit a rear rvf wheel without any modification or changes needing to be made?

As Derek has said the 160 will fit on the rim but depending on tyre mfg it might distort a little / you may have chain clearance issues.
It seems to be a personal thing as some people really dont like the feel of the 160 while otheres dont notice any difference?

Then go with the 150.
