My buddy ran one, said it tracked a lot but looks friggin awesome. The only reason I don;t run cokers is that most of them are not rated over 90 mph and I ride 50% of the time at about 90... lol.... ride fast...

I'm running them on the front and the sidecar; with no problems yet. I have been over 90 but not for long; it's a funny feeling with the sidecar. No tracking problems; if anything the bike lost it's ability to shake the **** out(front end wobble) of yaa at 27mph. Don't have the foggiest idea why.
