When I wear out my present set, that sounds like what I'll do based upon your recommendations and experience with them on your bike.

Thanks,
Bart

i don't really have any decent before pics but here's some new ones with the 180 dunlop qualifier and new metzler 880 up front.

the only thing i don't like is the lower profile now leaves a little too much gap in the fender at the rear. after i burn through this one, i'm going with the metzler 170/60

the other day, i got into a sweeping freeway interchange that before, i couldn't take over 50.....i stuck it at 75 and had more....no wobble either.

Putting truck tires on a Dyna just don't make sense to me. But, we all lhave different tastes. My 05 WG came with a 150 - I would rather have a 140 or 130 but the Harley engineers disagreed, lol.

Personally I think those wide rear tires looks like crap, but thats just "my" opinion. I also belive all choppers should have ape hangers, again, just "my" opinion.

Most of the custom bikes of today look like crap, to me. But, I am OLD and set in my ways,
