Goin' dark on the Wing!
« on: September 22, 2010, 12:32:22 PM »
I mounted my Kumho RF C/T yesterday on the rear and will mount my Battalax BT 45 (crotch rocket rear) on the front today.  I will let you know how it goes.  If it works, will go dark on the X after the Metz wear out

Double darkside. The only way to go. Wear the mold release off before you get crazy.

Pete, if I would have had my NASCAR approved ratchet and done the job in .38 secs or less...then YES APPROVED,  But I did not so it took me 10 mins,
