Yeh, me too! I'd love to see a pic of that. I've been seriously thinking gonig to the darkside but want to see the mileage I get on my new MCII's. I've only got 'bout 2000 on them now and not able to tell yet, but anything less than 30,000 and I'll be going to the darkside.

So true. Never saw a rear get past 15k
Edit; that would pass state inspection

FWIW, I'm old enough to remember (as a boy), when Harley dressers came from the factory with Goodyear tires that looked more like car tires than bike tires. Big, square section Goodyear Eagles in 5.00 x 16 size.

Here you go boys:

Both red Wings are sporting Dark Side and look decent in the corners with a heavy bike.
I'd rather have a sticky set of Avons myself.

My only real concern is when I do go to the darkside, what type of oil do I use then?
