My vote is for the Michelin Commander II. I'm on my third set (after Dunlop) based on my trusted mechanic's advice and I really like these tires.

Anyone know where I can tap into a switched power source? Preferably under the seat?

I also noticed when dealer did the maintenance it came back with the bars slightly bent left, like out of square with the forks. 3,800 miles on the bike and tires are almost to the wear bars too. What should I replace these with?
To me, 3800 sounds like pretty bad mileage on the front, even with hard riding. I ride fairly hard and only got less than five out of the back Lop and front was still ok with a lot more left. I changed it when I did the back tire just to get it off of there. Running Mitch II's now, much better tire. And yeh, find a good indy and drop Harley for working on it if there's no warranty. Is the wear on the front even? How about the back?

I know their is a spare in front of tank on left side. You will probably have to slide the tank back a little bit to get to it though. I used that spare for a usb charger.

The front is actually ok. Just rides shitty. The rear is what's getting thin. Local guy sounds good. I know a good one he just takes forever to get the bike back! Ha. Thanks

Default Part Numbers for Auxiliary Power Connector at front left side of gas tank

You need Harley part number 73152-96BK and (wire contact) part number 73191-96. Bought each of those for $1.02 at Harley dealer.
