Yea i cant go into gun stores anymore, im going to donsome more research and see if i can find any more info. I do trust these guys though no house brands or anything there mostly a speed shop. I had mc2s last time so if nothing else I will run those this time and wait and see on the h50s.

I have a set waiting to go on and replace a set of MCII's that I got just over 12k miles on. I've been looking forward to replacing them for the past 5k miles or so. It might be awhile, but I'll let you all know how they work out for me.

I have about 1000 miles on Battlecruisers and found them to be much better so far than OEM dunlops on my 17 SG. I had cupping on Dunlops at 4k, swapped them for Bridgestones at 6k. The bridgestones seem to allow for more agressive cornering and better traction in emergency braking. IMO, they're worth it so far.
This sentence has me hesitant on them for a touring -class bike (emphasis added): "Its handling capabilities allow even bikes of nearly 300kg to turn smoothly at both low and high speeds, minimizing fall-in characteristics in turns."
That is only 660 pounds... or about 175 pounds too light for even a riderless Road King (836LB). The new Street Bob is 653LB wet.

I'm going to be mounting a new set of tires this winter. The stock Duns have plenty of tread left but I have no confidence in them in certain situations. I was set on Metzler 888 but hoping by the time I'm ready there will be a few more reviews on the H50.
