What size where those front tires? I doubt a 90/90 tire will rub the brace on a /7 (the OPs bike). But going to a 100/90 (not really recommended) might. The larger tire doesn't really help things...it actually may hurt handling due to the poor geometry and creating more turn-in force.
Now the /6 is definitely a different story...different brace at some point.
Right....the 90/90 is what the owner had to install to get the clearance needed. I use the 100/90 on my /5's. The horse shoe brace doesn't get anywhere near the tire sidewall on the /5's. For several years there, the inch size tires were going the way of the dinosaurs. They seem to be more readily available now than 8 or 10 years ago.
