first timer

Taking my M50 to the darkside tomorow.

Please post all of the specs.

[



It a General Altimax HP 185/65/15. Couldn't believe how great it handle. better than the motorcycle tire I had on it.

I also used the Dyna Beads they seem to work great.

question? is the M50 the same as the VL800 , my son in law just got a used VL800 and he wanted to go darkside when the tire is worn out, i think he called it the intruder valusa , I think.
by the way Welcome to the Darkside .

Looks good and handles very well . Congrats you beat me to the Darkside.

Not sure about the VL800 intruder. Do you know what tire size is on there now? The motorcycle tire on my bike was 170/80/15 and I used a 185/65/15 car tire.

M50,

Awesome job! Welcome to the wonderful world of the darkside.................... Congrats!

yes it is a 170/80/15 and i am going to remove the wheel and measure the inside to see if we can go wideside on it when the time comes. You see he just got it and the tire looks almost new, he was told that the tires were changed only 200 miles ago. so he will be awhile before we change him to the Darkside.
have fun out there,

Most excellent! Welcome to the Dark Side!

The heck with the mileage, the safety of the car tire is more important to me....The car tire keep me out of 2 accidents last week alone.... Get him switched over as fast as you can. If you dont and something happens you will forever wonder if it could have been avoided with a ct.....JMHO

he will not change over , he wants to have it just like this. for now .
it is up to him , a man has to do what he feels is best.
each person has to decide for themselves , talking them into it doesn't do anything
but take away the persons right to decide. the Darkside is not for everyone but maybe someday it might.
Let them decide for themselves , I set an example if they want to fallow, that is up to them.

Do you think that you could post a picture of your M50 from the side. I just want to get a feel for what the bike is going to look like from the side before I go to the Darkside! I like the idea but I don't want the bike to look lopsided. Also, can you tell me roughly what the mounting costs were for the wheel? Thanks for any information you can provide .. I can't want to join the darkside!!

Steve.

$35 to mount it. It's 185/65/15 General Altimax HP that was about $70. Trust me it rides great!

Nice pick Welcome on to the DARK SIDE
