Anyway, as the bike is quite new (1800 Km, 3 weeks) the tyres had a virgin area on the edges. After the contact of the feeler with the ground I stopped for a coffee and took a look to the tyres: they had been running on their very edge, that virgin area dissapeared, then my question is, if I remove the feelers or I shorten them, will there be enough tyre to lean the bike even more?
Depends on the tyres you are running. That kind of ties in with [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7160]this thread. I have finally spent some time on the edges of my 160 Angel GTs. The chicken strips have, effectively, gone. All the tread is in use.

But I am now on my second set of cap bolts. I might order a set of the shorter bolts that Django uses.

I believe that the 160 rears really suit this bike.
