I had some Shinko 705's installed on my Husky a few days ago. Didn't lose a lost of handling prowess on the blacktop, but gained a lot in the dirt. Front is a 120/90-17.

I like it
Dose it steer much different, I.e. heavier?

It does steer heavier, and feels a little skittish when leaned over on pavement, but I anticipated that. If finances allow I may look into getting a 19 inch wheel over the winter, but wanted to try this out first.

After the tires scrub in a bit it might have a little more grip. I'll be curious as to how they handle off road. They look like they might have reasonable bite.

I took it on a dual sport ride Saturday and was having a great time on some rougher dirt roads until my friend on his Caponord high-sided in an off camber downhill left (pavement). He broke his patella in half and my day ended at that point. I'll be taking it onto some ATV trails this weekend.
