I don't know about the MC28, but the MC21 loves the triples dropped down the forks a bit to steepen the steering angle. HRC say 14mm for the MC21, but it's a bit extreme on the road, and shags the front tyre in no time at all!

The MC18 also benefits from this, and from jacking the back up a little too. The MC28 geometry is slightly different to the MC21, but I expect it would still feel better with a more aggressive stance.

Personally never felt the need to fit larger than Honda recommended tyre sizes, and only ever ridden one NSR with over-sized tyres that actually handled well. (It was far from standard too, with HRC suspension and HRC wheels.)

For tyres... can't say! Each to their own! I love Pirelli, and use them or Dunlop... I can't stand Bridgestone, but others swear by them!
