Does'nt seem like there's any way a CT will work on a 1200 , the rim is wrong and the size is wrong. Guess I'll stick with a MC tire. Will a CT work on a 1500 or is it similar to the 1200 in that respect?

Raises the RPM a bit, one mile or two less per gallon, speedo off about 8mph, Time will tell. Riding on the Darkside The tire they are using here is not a ROF. Kit

Thanks for the straight up info on the CT Kit. Lately I've been seeing some decent pricing on a few 03 and 05 1800's which may come into play some time down the road. I'll likely keep the LTD though for its historic value now that it has a Collector plate on it. Besides I love riding the old girl she has sentimental value,motivated me to keep on keeping on and ride again after a difficult surgery and healing process.
