Starting to get confused......Was on darksiders forum and there are recommendations being made to either put a tube in the tire or somehow seal the tire to the wheel????? I was gonna install the tire with beads and go........................is there a correct way?

Well the Nomad now has a Turanza installed and seems to be doing well. Started working on the switch yesterday morning at 7:00 and by 9:40 the wheel was off-taken to dealer to have tire mounted-and put back on. Used an overhead winch to lift bike by saddlebag guards and that worked well. Went on a 150 mile ride yesterday and we did not notice anything that made us feel uneasy.....did notice the extra countersteer needed to initiate a turn but that quickly became routine. Taking wife today to try it 2-up. ps....did I mention that it also looks really cool?

Well Mr. Fudd,I know your going to love it, and if you ride 2-up a lot, you passenger will notice a smoother and more stable ride (especially after you find your sweet-spot). Be cautious until you learn all the new quirks of your new tire.

Awesome! I think you'll love it and then you'll wonder why you didn't do this sooner and why there's so much negative thoughts from people that don't do it. :)
