The Dark SideFor those members running "Car Tires" on their scoots. This is for their discussion only and not a place for "non dark siders" to mouth off about their negative opinions of this idea!
I put a Battlax 150/70-16 on the front of my Ultra. Mounted it in reverse, I'll see how it goes. Put about 100 miles on it and so far, no issues. I might get to rain test it this afternoon on the way home from work.
Do you ever get cracks in the tread area? I used to run mine forward but several of them ended up with some really deep cracks. I haven't had it happen since I started mounting them reverse mount.
Went double dark this year also, did the 180 conversion without a kit, just bought a used rear revtech wheel and a front dual disc hub with a rear chopper fender from led sled. 195/60/16 Yoko on the rear, it rides extremely smooth and glued to the corners.
looks real good , but all the pics have bike tire up front. double dark is front and back
Sorry guys, double dark is a car tire on rear and a rear motorcycle tire on the front, my front tire is a rear 180/55/18 mc tire, read the previous posts or any other's marked "double dark". There is no term or word for both ct's front and rear although "total darkness" has been kicked around.
