I have seen a few motorcycles on the road with very wide back tires what exactly does that do for the bike or the ride?

First, it provides a smoother ride on a rigid, or stiffly suspended frame.
Also, it tends to not follow the rain grooves on the freeway as much as a skinny tire does.

The 750 came with a 160. The 1100 came with a 170. Up one is my personal rule, for many reasons. Partly because that's all that will fit (have cut chainguards for clearance). Partly because I've found that the manufacturers do actually spec well, and the narrow tires work well.

When you go with a tire that is too wide for your rim, you loose contact patch size, as the bead of the tire can not assume its ideal position, (ie it is too close together), so the tread is pulled into a rounded condition. Now, if you try to remedy this by running less air pressure, you get a lot of traction, but no stability. Always run the proper width tire for the rim you use.

Useing a wider rear tire helps with the power transfer of some of the stronger motorcycle engines.It will give the bike a more stable stance at higher speeds.

I was shy, I didn't want to be the centre of attention, I didn't like getting my picture taken. Yes, I had to speak in public, and that was because it was for my job. So I would get up there and I would speak, .but I really didn't want anyone to really be looking at me.
Since I've lost my weight, it's more like look at me, look what I've done. And I feel good about myself. I bought a new wardrobe. I get up there, I speak in front of people, and it's fantastic. It's the best thing I've ever done in my life.

AS wide as 345mm tires on custom choppers are the fad and really do not do much but provide a wide foot print. When you see motorcycle racers road race with a heavy tire like that they will be at the back of the pack. Just for looks!

All for show, IMO. Once you go past around 190 - 200, turning is affected in a negative manner.
Usually only seen on HD's, and those p.o.s. can't turn anyway.

It makes it harder to lean into curve and when you do get it to lean over you play like hell getting back up right.
