What? And go against the grain? Get fired from the company? Become a laughing stock with the other "engineers" who are the great rotunda of Ivory Tower of Knowledge?
Why, perish the thought! Even a hint of alienation could be the very harbinger of doom or at least a reduction in pay and a loss of the bathroom keys, reducing one to a mere cubicle and the use of the gas station down the street!
Forget that there are actually thousands of them out there, putting literally millions of miles on them, without even the first hint of a problem reported, with nearly every one of the riders becoming staunch advocates, forget that the insurance companies shrug their shoulders at the question, requiring it to only have tread depth and be DOT approved, forget that the braking friction is multiplied several fold, forget that the smoother ride on cruisers allows more seat time, and forget that this has all been debated to death.
Oh, but you didn't READ any of that, did you? Obviously not.

 

I put a ct on my 09" night train 2 weeks ago and have been riding alot here in houston. Have had a good experience with it so far. When i follow my friends down a twisting road i let them get a little ahead on the straight aways so i can catch them on the corners. There is a definate difference in riding the ct verses a mt but so far i love my ct.

I am running 36lbs in the tire and even with 2up riding its wonderful. I read the ct threads for allmost a year before i went out and bought one and installed it myself. A little tough to get mounted but it seated with no problems and didnt even have to balance it. It is not for everyone and for those who HAVE NOT tried it they cant really speak on something they dont have any experience on. If you think its crazy, it is. If you think its stupid, it might be. But i did it and will not go back. EVER....

 

I also put a CT on my 10 EGC and love it. I ride single up all the time with 26 lbs and it handles like a dream. I have about a 1000 miles so far and not going back to a MT.

 

Let the floodgates open.....!!!!

 

What tire/size did you chose?

 

Hahaaaa...they'll have to open them a bit wider I guess: I STILL don't see anyone coming up behind me in the twisties except a few crotch rockets!

 

I had one on my VTX and liked it. It seemed you had to push a little harder in the turns but the grip was unbelivable. I am glad there is a size for my 08, I think with the more narrow tire it would turn even easier.

Will be searching for one and will have it for when my rear is gone!!

 

Were just ahead of ya. I'll slow down so u can catch up. Lol

 

I put a Bridgestone Taranza 195-60-16 on it. It fit like it was made for it. I guess I have fat fingers. In the post , I said I run 26 lbs, I run 28 lbs. I had a local Honda dealer mount and ballance it. The HD dealer wouldn't touch it. The tire had a red dot on one side, and a yellow dot on the other and not lined up with each other. It was hard to find someone that new which one to line up with the valve stem. The Honda dealer lined up the yellow dot with the stem and it only to a half oz. of weight to ballance.

 

Thanks for the info.
