Default '08 with mixed Dunlops

Am I the only one with mixed Dunlop tire models on my new FXD?
Dunlop 401H in the front 130 mph rated
Dunlop K591 in the rear 149 mph rated
Maybe they did this because Dunlop doesn't make a 17" 401?

As long as you are conscientious in keeping
the 130mph tire in front of the 149
you have nothing to worry over.

Ever since I built my new motor,
the rear wants toget in frontwhen I hit second hard.

I think they're all like that 401/591

When you hit 131 mph, you better be doing a wheelie.

That is whatI have on my '06. It looks like they were made for each other. I've never had a blow out over 130mph though.............[:@][:@]
