Glad you like the "Air Bags" - as you are looking, the one on the left is my bride - on the right - her sister - I'll be riding two up to Sturgis. On a serious note - put the Raptor on, 4 oz. of Dyna beads - at 32 PSI - JUST LOVE IT! Way better grip, and a much better ride!

Rainman, what size and model of yokohama tire did you put on your R3T?
Are you happy with it? would you change to a different tire ( Raptor, Toyo etc) if you had to do it again?

In darksiders experience, a tire with a middle ridge/strip its more likely to be affected by deformities in the road surface?

I had read that too. Thats why I chose differently.

Being my first CT I went totally off reading years of posts and comments here on the site making my decision. The solid middle tread was one of the things I avoided as well.

Hows the ride? Have you gotten much bolder with the DS? I know that I have by 75%. I am still some what intimidated by the weight of the bike so I haven't really pushed the limits yet.

I'm right back where I was prior, I have to consciously restrain myself from wearing out the feelers on the underside of the floor boards. I nearly waited too long replacing the first set and had a hard time getting the new one in the left side. When I had pegs I used my toe but with boards they just hit the ground and grind.

Ok my Metz is nearly shagged again **** it I think I may have to swallow my pride and try a darkside tire. But in reallity we shouldn't have to I think it's time we got a petition going to get Bridgstone or someone to develop a MT for our beasts what do u guys think ?
