Hmmmm need a picture huh? Seeing as how I'm too lazy slow to relearn how to post pics here. You could go to killboy.com for July 17, "touring bikes" thumbnail #27.
I see I'm setting myself up for hellacious ridicule for such lame lean angle, this being Friday, and for just not posting a pic...but what the hey, it is for the #60.
Besides, the CT isn't on the bike now, heck not much of anything is on the bike now, not until I get it painted, repaired, and put together by springtime.
BTW, in the pic @ killboy I have the aux tank on. I was on a not-so-direct route to SW-FOG.

Since Darksider #3 has assisted you, I'll consider that vouching that that pic is actually you. For future reference, www.tinypic.com is your easy way to post pics on forums. Use the IMG choice and just copy and paste that directly into the forum, no need to use the links above the reply box.Photo Assist for Mr. Darksider #60:

Much appreciated, and in return I'll look into the tinypic site, learn it, breathe it, and generally become one with it so I never again confess to being a photo non-poster dolt again here.

newbs need the forum
Came out of work the other day, and one of the custodians was checking out the bike. He commented that it was a really great looking bike. I told him thank you, and asked if he was checking it out a little. He said, "Well, actually I was checking out that car tire your've got on that thing. Of course he asked if it affected handling. I told him a good deal of what's been said on this Darkside thread. He seemed genuinely interested and we talked about it for quite a while. Interesting how that even a guy who knows very little about motorcycles assumed that a car tire would affect handling...

This thread belongs on a Hardley site.
Anyone who knows how important tires are on a motorcycle wouldn't even think of putting a car tire on the thier bike.

Close minded?? You have to be kidding me! More like common sense!
There's a reason why motorcycle tires are different than Car tires. Different profiles, MUCH stickier rubber for traction ect....
I won't even attepmt to explain it to you since you don't think it's utterly ridiculous, not to mention hazardous to put a car tire on a cycle, on top of that, he had a cycle tire in the FRONT, the totally different profiles of the 2 tires make it unsafe to begin with!
Motorcycling is dangerous enough, the LEAST we could do is let him know what he did makes it even more dangerous!

BTW......I don't know of ANY reputable tire store that would install a car tire on a cycle wheel BECAUSE of the liability, what does that tell you?

Because that's the way it's always been and I'm afraid to set outside the box.
