New Darksider here

Hi everyone, I finally did it. I'm a new Darksider. I have a 2005 VTX1300s and installed a General Grabber 205/70/15.
It was a job to find someone to install it, but I found one. Took 100 psi to set the bead, probably because I'm still running a tube. So far the ride is great. Just took a little while to get used to it. So far running about 40 psi. Wish I done it a long time ago.

Welcome to the darkside. You can drop the air 4 lbs at a time to see what it feels like, then adjust to your sweet spot.

Congrats and welcome to the darkside and our site! Try different air pressure for sure until you get what you really like.

Well, you'renever to old to learn.
Like Jedisho said, play a bit with the presure. I've a different tire, but you might
even start with 42 and lower with 2 each time. It's always nice to finf the sweet spot
Welcome and keep rollin' Dog.
