Well as of yesterday I'm now official Darkside! Thanks to the suggestions from this great forum, I took old tire and rim to a independent tire shop and told them it was for a custom tryke (thanks diesel) and they mounted my Hankook woth no problem, no way to balance so took tire and rim to independent moto shop and paid them to balance, no weights were added in fact the same weight was used at same spot, anyway returned home and yesterday afyer cleaning both splines and applying Honda60 moly, I lined up the tire and it went in without any problems. I was shocked how easy it was! So now after 22 miles I'm loving this tire, not much difference just a hair more effort in turns. If your on the fence as weather to go Darkside, just do it you'll love it! Mine is a 04 without abs.
