    it does not change the speedo, I checked via GPS speedometer and .5 mile per hour off 70 mph =70.5 mph

    That's great!
    With stock MC 180 tire, my indicated 70 was actually 68, and I was clocking an extra 3 miles for every hundred.
    With a 185 back there, my indicated 70 is now 71, indicated 80 is now actually 84. However, my odometer is within 0.3 miles for every hundred.
    No biggie - just data points.

    So, Steve, are you running Darkside now?

    Negative.
    Michelin/Bridgestone/Pirelli/Toyo/Firestone engineering will still NOT give me a motorcycle rating for their car tires....

    I had a Dunlop MC American Elite 185 installed (in haste) last go round.
    Cheers,
    Steve
