Bigger tires will affect handling. More gyroscopic effect on the front can do strange stuff. Making bike want to stand up and slows steering. Not to mention more unsprung weight affecting suspension. Some like the effect some don't.
One other thing is from my late brother. He brought his 900 to a shop and told them he wanted stock size Bridgestone Spitfires. They put on a larger tire and said that is what everyone does. I hate that answer wherever it's given. He was not happy but decided what the hell. That is until he went to drop his front tire and found that he could not clear his fender bolts without deflating the tire or removing the fender which was a real PITA. Just a warning. Your results may differ. GLuck!
