Default Dunlop American Elite - Where to buy?

Where are you guys buying you Dunlop American Elites? I have almost 11,000 on my 14 SGS and looks like i am in need of a new rear tire.

I have a guy that is local that will come out and change at my house for $75.00 so looking to find the least expensive option.

Dennis Kirk does have decent prices.

If anybody stumbles onto an available American Elite front tire for a '14 SG (130/60B19), please post it. They're out of stock or backordered everywhere I've looked so far.

Default Dunlop American Elite - Where to buy?

Check out Motosport. I purchased a set of Michelin Commander II Rear: 180/65B16 81H
Front: 130/80B17 65H for under $300. Took them to my Harley dealer for installation. Michelin says they will last twice as long as the Dunlops. I had them out in right before my trip to Denver and Sturgis. Put 3,200 miles on them, rain and sun, impressed so far....

Not that this is relevant to the OP, because the question was specifically about a particular brand, but if a tire will last twice as long( and I have my doubts about that statement) something will certainly be sacrificed.
