    I've always been 50/50 pro/con for the D/S. I may just do a dark side on this bike this time. The lean angle is not as severe as other bikes I've had.

    Considering the possible lean angle is severely limited by hard parts, your decision to go dark side is a non-issue. In addition, you will have a greater contact patch at maximum lean angle going DS than with your regular motorcycle tire.

    That's a good point Ken. CT wouldn't work too good on a sport bike.

    A picture paints a thousand words especially when it comes to "contact patches" and "lean angles"
