@redneck500 I had the high speed wobble to when I first installed my car tire, especially on windy days. Lowering my rear psi from 40psi to 32psi and running my front with 36 psi did help, but didn't resolve the problem totally. In my case, removing my rear cargo trunk on the luggage rack, solved the problem for good. Turbulence at high speed was hitting my rear trunk, causing my front to wobble. Now I don't have ANY wobble whatsoever, even at 100 mph.

@55Dudester Ya I actually mounted a 195-60-16 dunlop sp5000 on my vulcan and its ok, but the only problem is when im going around 75+ I start to get a wobble, but my PSI is at 40lbs, do you think if I lowered it down, that would fix that problem?

@redneck500 Yes you can go Darkside with a Vulcan Classic 1500. It's what I ride, and I have a 195/60/16 Hankook Optimo H426 car tire on the back. I'll never go back to a bike tire for the rear. I keep the psi in the rear between 32 and 34 psi, and in my front Metzler ME 880, I keep between 38-40 psi.
With the car tire, you will never feel a tar snake again, nor will you feel a steel grated bridge again. Much more secure in the rain than a bike tire. The ride is much smoother now too. Try it.

Thanks for the video. I'm a new Dark Sider, and I really am enjoying it. What psi do you have in your rear and front tire ?
Thanks

Great work! I've thought about it, but didn't think it could be done. Where can I get more info on this?
