[QUOTE="BikerGeek99, post: 1099296, member: 14243"] Short answer: my nuts are still attached and I did not spontaneously combust. Long answer: it changes a couple of the handling characteristics of the bike, but other than that it's really no big honkin' deal. I was expecting a herculean effort on turn-in but either I adapted to it in two turns or that's a bunch of hooey. Hell - I test-rode a local FJR for someone on the Forum and that FJR had very worn tires that had MUCH higher turn-in effort than my bike with the CT. On a nice smooth sweeper (like an on-ramp), you can play around a little and feel the transition from the flat of the tire to the corner, but that's about it. It does tend to grab grooves in pavement as well as rutted pavement, and is a bit different when going over the crown while changing lanes on the slab - I think those characteristics alone would be enough to scare most people off. There's always next Tech Day... [/QUOTE]
