I'm not sure what size front tire your running, but I don't think Matzler makes that ME880 Front in a 110/80/18. You may already be running the 180/90/18 like a lot of newer Americas are, or those that have changed to Avons or the like.
I'm not sure what kind of difference in handling it makes, but surely one could adapt to it quickly.
That 110/90 sure fills up that fuller front America fender - looks good in there.
