If any increase in rpm's, it is very small and barely noticable at all. Seems to have helped at around 55 to 60 when in 5th gear. Use to lerch a little when in 5th gear. Starting off at 35 psi.

Do not have a c/t as of yet but the force is pulling me. I have a VTX 1300C 05 with about 25000 miles on her. I am tired of the expensive cheep a** M/C round rubber i don't consider a tire the bike industry offers. I am here to learn and experience all there is about the dark side and future motorcycling experience. I currently reside in Columbia SC. thanks Big "P" General Discussion Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:19:11 GMT http://mcdarksiders.forumotion.com/general-discussion-f6/new-to-darkside-forum-t3623.htm#30760 http://mcdarksiders.forumotion.com/general-discussion-f6/new-to-darkside-forum-t3623.htm http://mcdarksiders.forumotion.com/honda-shadow-f16/here-s-the-fairing-on-the-vlx-t3615.htm Otis56
