Just had the SE180 installed on my loose wheel new tube and balanced for $202.50. Looks great. Local dealer has 15% off all Dunlop tires everyday. Tire was $164.01. Labor $20.80. Tax $17.00. Got to love NYS tax.

I Just had a 170/60/17 Metzeler ME880 Mounted to a Stock Harley 2006 Lowrider Stock Rim.

The Tire is actually 1/4" narrower than the Stock 160/70/17
What a Bite in the A$$. Went on a recommendation from the Parts man and the service Mgr.
They were like, Hey you might have rubbing issues with the 170, Shows WTF They know.
I am Pissed that it is not as wide as the HD Stock 160.
Great deal if anyone wants it. LOL!!!

Thanks

Nowwho running a 180 Metzler on a Street Bob with no kit? got pics?

I might be incorrect here but, I have not seen a180 Metz for the 17" rim. They Have em for 18's No Dice for a 17" with 180.
I may be missing something so, anyone have any info on this, A 180 Metz on a 17" rim????
