Ok...it's time
Before starting this I have read a lot of the threads here about the Dark Side since within a few weeks I will to become a Dark Sider :)
I did find some answers and to some I did not, so here it goes. 1: I see that many riders on the Dark Side are using 195/60-16's in some form of a manufacturer. So I believe that I will stick to this size at least for a good starting point However in the event will a 185 work? 2: I see that most everyone starts out at around 30 PSI give or take. My question to this is...is there a way to test if I have too much or not enough PSI? 3: Dyna Beads Ratio... Is it the same as what I would normally place in a MC tire? I see talk of using air soft pellets since they do the job at more than half the price. Is there a "specific" type I should use? I don't do the Air Gun thing so I have ZERO knowledge of these :) 4: Most importantly in my eyes... What should I expect in light of the ride? Is the CT going to scare the Crapola out of me? Does the bike feel like it will fall over? Obviously since there is a flat spot on the tire I will experience "trailing" in ruts and such correct? 5: Mounting... I have talked to several MC dealers in my area and they will NOT mount a CT for me so it looks as if I will be doing the job. I believe I may try this option... http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=299597 I do have tire irons as well. Do car tires have a "spot" on them for air nozzle alignment? I have honestly never looked :) Am I missing anything? Thanks Much
