Don't be player hating here, but does anybody know much about the front tires on the new HD's? They have a uniqe tread pattern. They are either 'HD' or dunflops. How do you like them? Thinking about trying 1 this summer, if the price is good.

They are new for the 09 models. Dunlop redid them and they are supposed to last longer front and rear of the touring bikes. I only got about 8500 on the rear of my 07 Street Glide. Shortleg[Dave]  Have you tried this tire then? What do you think about it? All my HD buds have older bikes and use off brand tires. |

Feedback from 1 owner thus far:
Bike has 10k on it; OEM tire still fitted. Lots of tread left, and his previous bike - an '06 Road King - would go through the older model OEM tires in under 10k.
I'll talk to the other folks and see what their experiences are.

Sweet. I might ride up to a HD dealer and check out a price. Thx again. |
