As most of you know I put a CT on the bike this past weekend...Here's what I noticed after riding 800+ miles for those who are on the fence in going to the dark side....(Go...Go...Go...)
1) The bike is more stable
2) Tire gripped the road in both dry and wet conditions
3) The rear tire does steer the bike a little...you need to turn more to get the bike to turn...for me it was just leaning more and getting use to it...about 50 miles...now don't even know its on the back end (from a positive perspective)
4) Slight little snap when really leaning the bike and bringing it back up....but again very very slight...after 5-6 corners you don't even notice it any more
5) I had my tire at 36 psi....it was firmer and did not roll like some say...I will try a lower poundage this week to see the difference
6) I leaned the bike pretty good...had a hard time scraping the floor boards...thus the tire must raise the bike up an inch or two...(wish I would have measured the bike before putting on the CT) I like the extra height...was tired of scraping the floor boards (have nothing left)
7) Not dissappointed in the CT at all...worth the effort....recommend if you are on the fence to do it.....
Safe Rides.....
