I was a darksider on my 1800 vtx put about 15,000 on it a little over a yr of riding but went back to the mc tire( cant rember what I put on but it was what most of the vtx riders were using). The ct was just not for me ride a couple of construction zones an wow wake up call. Rode the dragon with it just not comfortable went back a yr later with my wife as a passenger with a mc tire felt like valentio rossie ok maybe not valentino but felt a lot more controllable a lot of riders tried it an liked it i'm just not 1 of them.
