I've been running them on both my Nomad & Goldwing for the last couple of years - great traction - good wear - very pleased with them - will continue to use them when it comes time for a new set.

TC is back!:D

The website says they are specially designed for the Nomad, seriously? Many of us on here have been praising them up for a number years now with many of the same handling observations as the site claims. but just when did they become designed for our bikes, after Nomad riders made them popular or after they started making a rear in a 170 series instead of the 180 most of us used.
Besides that bit of advertising hype, they are great on the Nomad.

I'm running one on the front and love it. Will switch out the rear tire to this when its time.

Got them, love them and TC, yes you're old but as all Canadians, even the honorary ones, you must be more patient, we are :D ..... must be why we pay so much in taxes (bend over, I'll drive you home) is our national motto :lmao:

But you are in New York. If you lived across the border in Canada, in "Metric Years" you would be practically prehistoric:tup:

Larry when I put Cobras on 2 years ago It was a 180, and I had never seen a listing for a 170, it seems like this is a new development.
Anyway, for me Unless a 170 was considerably cheaper than a 180, I think I would stick with a 180, I know it works well on the Nomad.

First of all to TC, BITE ME, :D
I have read about the Cobras and Venoms. I thought this was something new due to the date of the article and the fact they were advertising for use on Vulcans.
And yes you are not only short on patience but you appear to be getting crotchety also. :P

I tried a set but did not like the mileage. I then moved on to E3s and will now try the Commander 2s.
