    The new K1300S has a 55 section rear tyre, my old K1200S has a 50. The
    steering geometry is still the same bike to bike. My thoughts would be to
    possibly make the steering a bit quicker?

    I need a new rear as mines getting worn. Any benefits i wonder....

    As a fashion accessory it's an absolute must have.
