    I'm going darkside tomorrow

    on a Riken Raptor 245/50/16. I'm 5'8" and ~200lbs, what tire pressure should I go with? This weekend I put a few more miles on the Metz and came home with a hėll of a sunburn! :eek: Heck, at 50 years old you would think I would have learned to use sunscreen by now. Now I have that leprosy look...

    Tried Darkside -Ate the Cookie-Returned

    Okay so I'm just ventilating my observations. No harm intended to anybody. It seems to me that those who fit car tyres are pleased as punch and suffer no ill effects. The people who are negative about the darkside generally don't seem to have tried it. ( just how it seems to me - including me )...

    Was telling Nolton that I went to the store and back, looked at the Metz and saw cord ... AGAIN !!! 17,000 miles and three Metzlers later ... I've taken the plunge. I'd returned the Eagle I bought before due to possible clearance problems and today I ordered a BFG G-Force 225/55ZR16 for $150...

    new darkside tire?

    I'm new here and dont even own the R3 Roadster yet but wanted to ask about the rear tire choice. I have read where most riders prefer the 225/50 ct. I am vertically challanged at 5'6'. If I were to use a 225/50 tire that makes the wheel overall height of 26". If is used a 205/40 that...

    Hi Guys, For those of you in Australia (especially Sydney), Peter Thoemig, the editor of Road Rider and Cruiser+Trike, is very interested in putting together an evaluation of the darkside for inclusion in the mag. He would be looking at insurance, legalities etc as part of the evaluation...

  13. Went Darkside today...

    Put on a Riken Paptor 225/55-16. Removed wheel myself, so I could grease splines on driveshaft. Not too hard, thanks to all the info on the site. Only ridden 10 miles so far, still in the "getting used to it' phase, but so far not bad. Thanks to tdragger for letting me try his out!

    Darkside Mounting Suggestions

    Heavily considering going dark for my next tire. There are some good threads discussing the tires themselves. What I would like to hear are experiences with mounting. Specifically with getting it done somewhere (as this is what I'm going to do), though self-mount advice is good too. I see...

  18. Darkside mc

    Alright you darksiders and those thinking about it. This is my opinion of the darkside. After 50,000 miles on my RIIIT (MANY Metz Marathons), I went to a General Alti 205/60-16. Started with 42lbs pressure, and downed it to 30lbs. Ride is comfortable, and we went on a 800 mile trip with no...

    Dallas area Darkside mounting

    My brother has purchased a Riken Raptor to have mounted on his 06 Std but is having trouble locating a shop to mount it in the Dallas, Texas area. He would prefer a shop that will remove the wheel from the bike and remount, but will settle for just having the tires changed out on a loose...

  20. Darkside suggestions for the R3T

    I have been thinking of going Darkside when my metzler wears out and was wondering if anyone knows the tire size needed. I figure the designation will be different for a car than it is for a bike. Anyone running a CT on an R3T? Some info would be helpful.
