Still got some side left! Thanks for all your info. I noticed your sig just says you run one CT. So do people generally just run the rear CT? Or both?

 

From what I've heard just the rear mostly. I have heard of some on the front but back is enough for me. I'm mostly going for economy. Read as, cheap!

 

Very few people run CT in front. I'm good with just the rear.

 

Excellent!

 

This is a very cool thread and education. I had honestly never thought much about the option, assuming, like many riders I'm sure, that manufacturers had done their research and adapted the best tools for the job. The only personal experience I've had with running car tires on a Harley has been down in Cuba, where rubber is hard to come by so guys will pull tires from Russian Ladas, but that has been a necessity as opposed to choice. Anyone here mounting a CT on an FXR?

 

So what size would I need for my 84 flhtc

 

I don't think there is much of a choice, if any for your tire size. The later years as rims and specs have widened the opportunities for us to do it. It would take some research to see if one is available for your scoot.

 

Oh well gess i'll get those w/w tires this winter
Thanks for your reply

 

The goldwingers have a lot of naysayers and whatiffers too.

 

This is true, and like Skydiver said, 99.9 % of the nay sayers have never tried the ct before. They refuse to admit it mite work. If Orvil and Wilbur never tried to build an air plane, we would still be walking instead of flying. Its not for everyone, you have to make up your on mind. I have a ct on my bike and its going to stay. I drag my boards all the time, and it still scares the crap out of me when it happens. Not because of the side walls, but because of the noise it makes. I just install a Handkook 205-55-16 on my Glide a couple of months ago and love it. 90% of my rideing is straight down the road. Even with the mt on my bike, I wore the center out first. About 15,000 miles is the most I ever got. At 200 something for a mt, and a 104 for a ct and get 30 to 35,000 miles from it. I'll take the ct. And with the ct I have now, I have a full 8 inches of rubber going down the road, and a 1-1/2 to 2 inches in the corners. With the mt, you have no more than that at any give time, straight or corners.
