The 100 90 19" FXDB tire really followed the groves.

I will agree with the wheel following the grooves a bit more, but it's not all that bad. Still trying to decide on the wide glide forks, a lot of work for just a look. Need to research more and convince myself of more positives

I've found that the tread pattern made a big difference. Any tire with grooves that run around the circumference, like a Dunlop that was widely used about 10 years back, will follow the cracks like it was on rails... I'm thinking it was something like "F28" but really don't remember.

Have you thought of just Wide Glide Tree's?

I am running a Michelin Commander ll 80/90x21" with diagonal grooves from each side . I guess what I like about the wide glide front is the wider stance. Not sure if it makes for better handling more research needed. I don't know, narrow better turning, tighter, wide more stable, comfortable? I want to add a tach that will be the next thing

Not better handling just a different look even though there is 2 deg or so of rake in the tree's.
