My 2 cents:  I would resist the temptation to install the fattest tire possible, bigger than the original specified tire.  Yes, your bike would look more badass and more like a modern v-twin cruiser but I discovered that handling is negatively affected by an oversized rear tire.  When I switched to the thinner, factory-specified, rear tire my CB750 became noticibly more nimble while maintaning the same traction.
