Thumbs up



Nice write up. I've been following this idea for a while now. Will probably make the switch when the time comes for a new rear tire.

Thank You Sir.

I'd like to know how many miles you will be able to get out of your CT. Thanks also for your service to our great Country...
Ron,

I also paid for the spoked wheels, and I was about to seal them so I could run tubeless Wide White Walls, when I found out about the car tires. Now, I still think that there is nothing that looks as good as a clean bike with clean WWW's, but still I am not going back to a MC tire. I was fortunate to find a set of 2010 SG wheels on ebay, ABS, for a good price.
About running the tube, I have no idea. But Dunlop customer support might know? lol. or go to the Dark Side forum

http://forums.delphiforums.com/DarkSiding/start

somebody there already went through the same thing.

Regards,

I am going back as soon as the weather cools down a little. DFW is north of me, but these little backroads sometimes had me going south, sometimes east, until eventually I ended up in Seagoville, then Dallas.
Some great backroads there.
I'll let you know next time, so we can meet and you can try my bike.

Thank You Sir.
Be warned. Riding at such low pressure is like a whole new suspension, plush and composed. You might end up liking it,
