Darkside - Front tire

[Richie]

Thank you both for the replies.

I am aware of the reaction asking a dealer to mount a CT on the rear and i would need a tire shop to mount the rear tire. I had hopes that because the front tire is a MT tire there may be no problem. Seems to me the rear rim and tire is much simpler to remove and replace than the front, that being the reason for a dealer. Not that i couldn't do it but a 72 years old i would just as soon not. Just about ready for a rear tire and thinking about taking a chance on crashing and burning. Ride two up most of the time and think this may be the way to go.

IMHO...you will be hard pressed to get someone to mount a rear mcy tire on the front of a mcy...just sayin......

You are probably right. Do most who use a CT on the rear run a regular front tire?

Thanks Richie

Depends on the rider..some folks put a lot of miles on their bikes and going double darkside extends tire life to a new level.... 30-40 K for the rear and 30 + for the front...with no ill effects...

No problem in my area, you can go to any of the MC shops, dealer or Mom & Pop shops with a correct diameter CT to MC rear or rear MC tire to front rim and have the tire mounted as long as you have $ or
