Much though it pains me to agree with Art about CT's on bikes - There is a reason why a CT on salt may not be optimal. A smaller section tyre would be better - A V shaped one probably better still.

Pretty sure the CT is for one very simple reason - High Speed rating rubber (which I believe is required to run) without new rims.

That R3 needs a sump spoiler though - Salt damage - <shudder> - The front may even be a 120.

Indirectly - off road caveats excepted - Triumph is unwittingly condoning the DarkSide.

YES we tried them at Triumphs request and they offered little traction as i suspected they would BUT we gave it a shot

I wouldn't like to be on a fish-tailing Rocket .. I don't enjoy Rockets when they get out of shape.

I like it....not funner than wheelies though.

Would they allow an air-foil just in front of the rear wheel to induce down force?

If you look at the picture the front tire has salt on it the rear don't. It's a drawing of a ct
