Kumho Power Star 758: "The Power Star 758 uses the latest technology to give this tire excellent balanced performance. Positioned for the classic import market, the 758 has increased mileage, even wear and improved wet handling and traction that is designed to deliver good overall performance and hydroplaning resistance."

This is the tire that Dark Shadow "HAD". He gave me his old tire. Texas Tim has the same one. If you are looking to try the dark side and have a Honda Spirit 1100, this is a tried and true one. I think other bikes can used this tire also. Here is a link to where you can buy one. And if you find a cheaper place on teh internet, discount tire will honor it.

Some pictures of the tire.

Tire Tread Pattern. Not symetrical, and not really "cool" looking, but sure is a good tire. Deep tread.

Tire on Bike. Looks a lot like a motorcycle tire. You have to look close. Same size and general shape. Because of this, it's a great car tire to start out on. But be careful. These tires last 30k on a bike, so they may be around for awhile!

Cant wait to put my darkside tire on. Guess I am going to have to bite the bullet and get it installed before I wear the stock dunny out. I am hearing too many good things about going dark that I dont like the stock MC tire at all. I ahve some issues that just cant get out of the way with the MC tire.
