Why would you mount them backwards?

That, and if I am not mistaken your rim is too narrow.

No there is a tire that works on that rim but the fender is not centered perfectly so I stuck with the M/C.

ok finally got the bike out yesterday with the c/t. rides really well , the cornering is better than i expected it to be , the only thing that i noticed is the crown in some roads , it will move you around at slower speeds. but let me tell you i will never go back to a m/t.

Yep, once you go dark you never go back...

I just did, but not because I wanted to. The 17" C/T just didn't seem to bead up like it should. (way to loose) So went back to bike tire. Sure wish my Dyna had 16 or 15"" rims. I have ran C/T for 40 years and love them.

OK I will give you that one. That's a legit reason.
