Welcome from New Jersey friarjohn! Enjoy the ride!
I've tried the Darkside and returned to the Brightside on this machine, John, and this is the tire I'd recommend to you for the rear: Link Removed
It performs very nicely and it has an extended wear compound in the tire which, properly used and maintained, should be good for 10-15K miles. Also, it will correct most of the 7% speedo deviation we have with the OEM tire. I will be pairing it with a 140 up front in the Spring, which will lighten up the front end considerably, improving steering, tracking and overall handling.
