I hear you man. The 690 Kramers are very sensitive to tire size and geometry. Back when the 180/55s first went out of production I tried the 180/60 and bike never felt right. Even tweaked ride height and finally gave up and got a hold of a bunch of 180/55s. I did have decent feel with a Bridgestone 165 on the 5.5 rim but it was a bit stretched.
The 890 Kramer was built around a 180/60 on a 6 inch rim and lo and behold it's now out of production also. So I got a bunch of those as well while I could.
This does suck, but I am sure Kramer should be able to help with your geometry changes for new profile tire. In the end you will have to run new profile when you burn through old tire stock so may as well get the info now!
