I've been running them on my Street Bob. I'm happy enough with the traction in all conditions, but I'm a little bit dissapointed in the tread life. I got about 9000 miles out of the first rear, about the same as the stock Scorcher. Currently have around 2500 on the second one. The front lasted about 10,500. I have a new front to put on next weekend.

What was your tread depth do you know?
I've been tossing around these tires too. With what I got out of the Scorchers these "should" last me forever if they are as advertised....LOL

I have 11k on my FXDL, am going to replace the rear soon with a commander as planing a trip next month, the scorcher still has a bit on it, the commander for my dyna can be had at cycle gear for $189, 20 bucks to mount. the front still has a lot of life left, have found with exception of my 2 prior BMW R1100 bikes, the front outlast the rear almost 2 to 1.

I'm on my second set of CII's on the super glide. I got 26000 on the first set, had a couple of thousand miles of tread left but I replaced them because the sidewalls started cracking and they started following the tar snakes. Wasn't any question as to what to replace them with, couldn't have been more pleased with the first set.
They ride good, don't follow road cracks until worn out, and can't beat the long tread life. Paid $470 installed in March '15 at the local metric dealer where I bought the bike originally, which was $20 less than the first set in 2012.

Only 9 g's? That's pretty sad. I've got about 12 on my stock Scorchers. Wife got 9 out of her Flops on her WG.
