thats not much tire on the rear... whats your front gonna be 90/90-21 ? Id weigh the bike and pay at least cursory attention to loading and speed ratings...
is is a sunday driver or a commuter? two up on the interstate?
I went from a 16x3 rear to an 18x3.5 rear and a 19x2.5 to a 18x3.5 on the front and I'm still getting the tires where want them... I settled on Bridgestone T32's 120/70ZR-18 front and 140/70ZR18 rear for my daily driver and 19" K180's front and rear on my sunday driver...
good luck
