I would have to take my hidden hitch off and put on an external hitch. That's been my only prob with the tire. I don't want the external hitch   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #415772 tigboat (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 47 Re:Darkside Question?

Achilles Platinum tire? 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Did you ever get the Austone tire on? If so, how's it working out? I just wore out my rear and wanna try this tire but have yet to see how this tire is.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #428012 JDMatt2000 (User) Ride the Midnight!

Achilles Platinum tire? 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Erbman02 wrote: I had used the Dunlop SP5000 195/60/16 at one time. It was a close fit but it did fit, about 1/8 room on each side. The problem, too soft a sidewall, would get a wobble at 80mph, and at 85mph you could see the wobble in the tank. I tried psi from 30 to 40 at every 2psi increments, and each psi with the shock at softest, mid and hardest setting. this was done after a 500 miles break-in. I put approx 2k on the tire. I finally gave up.... City riding was nice, tire absorbed the road bumps much better and provided a smoother ride, in the curves, just had to push more into them, not much, but enough to notice a difference, after awhile you get use to it and all feels normal. Ditto except with a Michelin. Back to MT. Ordered Dunlop Elite III with a 160/80/16.   Logged     Charlie Horse It only hurts when I laugh!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #428070 tigboat (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 47 Re:Darkside Question?
