ST1300 Double Dark Side

[AlexLindsay]

Now I've got the Vredstein on the rear and a BT46 on the front. Put about 3 or 4000 miles on the Vred and couldn't be happier, will report back after first 1000 miles on the BT46.

Twas a little snug getting it past the pumpkin. I gently pushed forward and got it to pass. Once past the pumpkin, I had no rubbing on either side of my tire.

biggest trick I've found in getting the tire on past the pumpkin is a plastic bag from supermarket.... It allowed the tire to slide right past it.

I trust you have seen the consensus here.
Personally, I haven't seen any negative reviews or experiences by those who have actually tried it... and this comment coming from a decades-long-time Double Dark Denier.
