Two guys in our group had them installed this past summer. One on a SG and one on a RG. Both guys had them taken off within a week. I don't know why but it made the bike so unstable at highway speeds that one guy almost crashed after a wind gust from a semi (lifetime experienced rider). We pulled into a rest stop on one trip and the guy on the RG asked me to take his bike for a ride and see what I thought. WOW what a scary ride that was. It was like the back end was the tail of a dog. Bike wanted to wander all over the road.
All I know is I'll never be putting a set of those under my butt. Hope everything works out for you.

Well I got a few that said they don't last long
One said they stick but don't last long
And one saying that the back end was like the tail of a dog (doesn't stick I would assume)

So I would have to wonder was the air pressure correct. What year was the bike because it could have been the wobble issue as well.

Air pressures were good, balance was good (was rebalanced to make sure).
Both bikes were 2012 CVO's. One SG and one RG. Both very experienced riders.
May have been two lemon tires but the 5 minutes I test drove the RG was enough to turn me from them.

I ride the mountain twistys at every opportunity and there's lots of opportunity in northern Arizona. Put a set of Night Dragons on last August. Just turned 10,000 miles and need to replace the rear but certainly no cord showing. I did get better milage out of the Dunlops but the improvement in handling and traction is worth it to me.
