I have a CT on my Honda VTX 1300, and am very happy with it. I also have a Suzuki Hayabusa, and am wondering: has anyone ever tried a CT on a sport bike?

Its wrongway.

WRONGWAY - 205 BFGOODRICH ZR17 - SPORTBIKE/DRAGBIKE - SICK!!!
[quote="wrongway"]I am new to the darkside and I arrived here on a different road than most of you. I hope that doesn't make me an outcast immediately. I ride a zx14 and have traction problems with almost any motorcycle tire so I thought I would try going over to the darkside. I just finished mounting the tire up and I am ready for a test ...

Wrongway runs his on a drag bike and land speed racer. The darkside is NOT recommended for sport bikes that are ridden as sport bikes. If you are one to wear out the chicken strips on a sport bike DO NOT go darkside on it. The lean angle is much greater on them than on our cruisers and could cause you problems (trip to the hospital kind) later.
See you out there

All I can say is that most bikes that are drag raced are lowered and stretched and couldn't make a turn without wearing a hole through the plastics anyway.... but I still havent seen anyone else at the dragstrip or land speed races switch over to a dark side.

and you just cant kill a car tire , I dont car how many burnouts you do :-)
