I've seen darkside videos. The tires don't ride on the side walls.

The side walls are not designed for that kind of flex, on a Tourer or a Dyna. I would'nt do it. Its one thing to have a tire go flat on ya but quite another to have one have a catastrophic failure. Go visit the touring section there is a lot of debate and good videos on this.

Thanks Joe, you do some pretty sick work. It is a 21" x 2.15" w/ a 90/90 ME880, and I love the Arnott. You can dial them in while your riding with the onboard compressor. I Think they would be even more beneficial to someone who rides 2 up and carries cargo from time to time, like yourself. I mostly ride solo so I like the ability to dump it and ride around slammed or pump it up and have a good, adjustable suspension. They are still only 11.6" fully pressurized so its not a super plush ride, but well controlled. They make a 13" set too I believe. I also just like the look of them on the bike.......and where the hell are the pics of those bars already

DO IT! Would love to do a dark side con on my '08 FXDC but have not found a tire close enough to the stock 17" tire to run. I have read a lot about it and am convinced it would work, just have not found the right tire to try.
