Its tire time again ,i have the 200mm dunlop on my 07 fxst ,dealer wants 193 bucks for the dunlop ,any suggestions or web sites that you know of that i can get it cheaper ??? 145 bucks is the cheapest i can find ,does that sound about right ??? thanks
Go for an avon av72 cobra if available. Much better than the dunlop all round. Got 7000 miles out of the dunlop and Im at 3500 miles on the avon with no sign of wear and I dont ride like a midwife!
I think im going to do the install myself ive done bikes with chains before so im going to give it a try ... if not ,im going to an indep. shop because the dealer charged me 125 bucks to mount the rear tire and put it on the bike .i quess im going to have to buy that belt slack tool [or whatever its called ]
I just let the dealer where I bought the bike mount the tire for me, good people there...only charged me $44 labor to balance and mount...hell, my time and energy is worth more than that...

Understand the tire part. The midwife thing I can't seem to picture. Aren't they more like a baseball catcher from a visual standpoint?

Check with an Indy Shop for mounting. My local Indy charged me $45 to pull my wheel off, change tire, balance, and re-mount. I think that it was well worth not having to do it myself.
