Yes, that's what I'm running on the Eldo, 100/90 front and
110/90 rear. Steering is quicker than the EV. Found
myself oversteering for a bit til I got used to it.

This past Saturday, I replaced my 120/90 front and rear
with a 100/90
front and a 110/90 rear. My rear tire was worn out and I
wanted to try
the narrower tires. I've only got about 75 miles on them
so far and they
aren't even scuffed in properly yet, but I'm already
impressed with my
new found skills in the twisties. This made a HUGE
difference for me as
I was able to take corners much quicker. I can't say
whether or not the
shortened height will affect me much in the turns, yet.
I kind of think
it won't be a problem for me due to my longer rear
shocks...but I'll
have to wait and see.

On a side note, the tires don't fill the fenders as well
as the 120s did
- and so don't look as tough and hefty, in my opinion.
