What would there be a problem going from a 100/90x19 to a 110/80 19 on the front tire ?

Depends on the bike. You should probably be ok, the thing to do is check the clearance between the fender and tire. The 110 tire is going to be about 1 cm wider, so if you only have 1 cm of clearance on either side, I'd say you might be cutting it close. Worst case though you just have to take a grinder to the fender bracket and remove a tiny bit of material.

What kind of bike is it?

I had no problem making that change on the wife's 2006 Spirit 750. Check the measurements on both tires, measure how much clearance you have, it probably will work.

So it's safer to not wear a helmet, as 58% deaths WERE wearing a helmet
