RE: Front tire

I didnâ€™t know anyone made a radial for a dyna. Iâ€™ve seen them for the touring bikes
but not for a dyna.

RE: Front tire

Haven't done the mod yet but will start it next week. Changing both back and front to Michlen Pilot radials. The front tire isn't quite as thin as the stock tire because of the of the way that radials are made. It's a 180\\80R19. The rear is a 190\\60R17. It is going to take some work but it will be worth it. BTW, it's all on a Street Bob.

RE: Front tire

That answers the looks question, now how about how it handles. How many miles on it ? Any dramatic change over stock tire ?

RE: Front tire

Sofar I have 1250 miles on it. It definately feels better than stock. Before when I braked harder the whole front end&nbsp\\;"jumped", now thatÂ´s gone!&nbsp\\;It steers faster/smoother. Looks better.&nbsp\\;
