I'm interested in putting on a CT instead of MT (darkside).  Does anyone knows of a place or a person in the Plano/Richardson/North Dallas area of where to go to to get the CT put on the motorcycle rim?  Most bike shops will not do it, and neither will the auto retail shops, not even Jose's Place!  It seems they are all saying they do not want to take on the legalities of it...Gosh, I'm getting the impression this is illegal or something...good.
thanks,

I would give the guys at Denton County Choppers a call, when I visited they said they could do anything up to a 360 tire if needed.  Here is a link to there web site:  http://www.dentoncountychoppers.com/

They are located on Main Street in Frisco, TX

These guys said they'd do it for me for $65...full installation.  It's where I'll probably go in late march when I'm back from vacation to go dark myself.

I bought the HF changer, Got it done alone, it is not a one man job. I am very happy being a dark sider.

what size tire did you go with tom?  What X do you have?

My X is a 03 C 1800, I went with the Michelin Hydro Edge 205 65 16. I like it a lot. I put the Metz on the front. Its hard to say what gets the credit, but my bike handles a lot better now. No grinding or mods necessary.

Ok, I hate to look or sound stupid, but I just can't figure out what you guys mean by "darkside".  I gather it is something to do with tires, but what does it mean exactly?   CT, MT, HF....these are terms I am not familiar with.  Thanks for enlightening me.

Darkside is a term used when replacing a rear motorcycle tire (MT) with a car tire (CT).  I'm assuming (HF) is the Harbor Freight tire changer you can purchase.

Thanks VTXDust for helping me see the light...ummmm or is that the "dark"

It's not on your side of town, but just in case, two wheel world in Arlington will do it.
