The hate should go to those stealers that charge $800-$900 to change and put on new tires on the Rocket, and another $50 to clean and grease the splines. If my buddy's Triumph dealsership hadn't gone out of business i'd be on the darkside again today. Back when the DS was an option the haters were 9.9 out of 10. I investigated it and couldn't find anyone that thought it was the right thing to do. Some of you may know Ty Alexander Huynh(picture below) he was the only person back in the day that i knew who was going Darkside on the Rocket. Thanks to YT i was able to get his info and went for it. I remember my buddy saying bring it in when the boss goes home and as i left him saying you didn't get it changed here.
Don't fear the reeper...!! Ask grand dad what his tires were like.
