Hey Bobby,

Add me to the list. I ride a 2002 1800C

Also, for anyone reading this ... I bought a CT that appears to be too wide to mount on the rim. So, since I am ignorant at this still, I need some direction. If you have a 1800C would you please post the tire you are running on your bike. Thanks.

Had the CT installed today!! So far so good..... started at 38psi then down to 35... sweet spot?? ('')




May I be listed??

New to this forum, went darkside jan 07, run a toyo 205/65/16, have 12000+ miles and tire still looks almost new. Would like to be added to list.

Alright....I think that's everyone that wants on the list. Thanks guys! Darkside Rulz!.....

Hi DARKSIDERS!

I would like to be on the list, but I'm not quite there yet - waiting to burn up a little more of my second Avon AM 23 200/60 HB 16. It was emergency intalled mere days before finding out about the DARKSIDE - I was cheezed that the first one showed cords in 6500 miles.
Three weeks ago I put in Progressive fork springs for a Goldwing (1521) and highly recommend 'em , but they didn't solve all of my stability issues so I just ordered new polyurethane shock bushings (supposed to be WAY better than stock).

(Shipping is $2 now, but Gary will ship several pairs for that - I'm getting six pr. for 3 bikes )
When they get here I will order my tire and put 'em both on together . My tire choice will be the General Altimax HP 205/VR 60 16 ($78 Tirerack.com), similar to Dan in N.H., only w/o modifying my bike.

Thank you Bobby

Hey, don't forget to add me to that list!!! Name when I was first on was Phantom_1, still is on VTXOA. 02 1800C. Thanks!

Hmmm.... wonder why I didn't make the list Just cause I've been out riding on my GYTT rather than posting on this 'puter. Got over 15K miles on mine and still have 6mm of tread left! What's with that? How am I expected to try out different brands of CT's if the dang things won't wear out???

Add me to the growing list of DarkSide riders. Went with a GoodYear Triple Tred 205/60/16 on my VTX1800N. Got only 4100 miles out of the Dunlop which came on it. Put the tire on November 14 and put over 300 miles on it 2 days. What a difference in ride quality. I will never go back to a MC tire.

You can add me to the list. Been riding Darkside, with ceramic balancing beads, for nearly two years now.

I'm thinking of moving to a Hydroedge 205/65/16 when I wear out this Falken ... only because a 65 profile will correct some of the infamous Honda speedo error. For those of you riding on the low profile tires (like a 45), how does that affect the ride? I would think it would make it a little stiffer.

Big Charlie

can't tell you I know any difference... that's all I've had on... welcome!

Nodakbassmaster,

That 45 profile looks good with the Neo fender.

Big Charlie

Thank you!

Current new tire is Kumho KH-16 profiled rounded edges by Foy's Tire truing machine,...I am a 3 x darksider, last one had to go from age hardness,...hadn't been using Formula V tire conditioner,..... sign me up,...hope this post is ok,..

02 VTX 1800c 205-65-16 profiled KH-16

You can add me to the list, I am running a Hydroedge 205/65/16 on an 03 1800C with over 9K miles so far and it still looks new!! Before putting on the CT I did a lot of reading and it was of this site. You guys made my research easy... Thanks to all! Location:Fort Myers, Florida
