Great looking tire you got there. Now you just need to relocate the license plate above the taillight in order to show that fatty off.

Yes, at the very least I'd like to get the kit that raises it up and brings the turn signals in closer, but then where to put the stupid inspection sticker?

Stay off the Grass

The only negative thing I have encountered with the CT is lawns and dirt. I went across my backyard this weekend and it was like wrestling a rhino. I have checked my social calender for the remainder of the year and there aren't that many lawn parties I have to attend, so I am good to go.

My inspection sticker is mounted to a small plate that is connected to my front left brake. J&P Cycles has several. Here's one:

I don't know if it's legal or not, but I mount inspection sticker on the black plastic filler piece just in front of the rear fender on the right side of the bike, as you are sittin on it. It's plainly visible when stopped. I've even been pulled over for speeding! ( a warning thank God! ) and nothing was said about my inspection sticker..

There's certainly a tendency not to stop. What sort of grin might compare It certainly wouldn't be that fatty on the crouch rocket.

There are those that have encountered issues with 245s. I've read of one sole that runs a 205. Most, including myself, run 225s. Snuffy's dark side has a similar center line ribs as my Cooper Zeon 2XS. I'm curious whether another of these 225 darksiders, without the center rib were less directional. Perhaps the 205 captian will speak up and report of the grins his darkside nature had lead, with pictures? I chose the Cooper for the low tread wear factor. I wanted a soft dark side.

Snuffy; I'm thinking (rarely do I go to such troubles) that your 225/55 higher profile is your rub. A 50 might be just the ticket. Loan me your center stand and I'll report back.

Manic: here you go, http://www.r3owners.net/photoalbum/d..._size_hump.jpg a reason to pull over.
