Hi

Here in Aus they after that $ as well man, I found a motorcycle shop which do it for $300 ride in, same gt502 but no hd written on it

If you cruise I don't know if get the km/mileage out of another brand and only save $30-40 dollars

Interested if people have used a skinnier tire on the 2010+ wide glide
Thanks

There are lots of places to buy tires. Type in the brand and size into your search engine and sit back to compare prices....

I just picked up a Metzler 880 from Revzilla. It was $160 shipped to my door. I pulled the rear wheel and had the tire swapped at the dealership for $35. If you pay $400+ for a tire setup, that's ridiculous.

I realize this is an old thread but...
There is a difference in the ME 880's that are made in Germany and those that are made in Brazil, the width of the ones made in Brazil are 10mm narrower.
I've got images of them sitting side by side and it is noticeable.
