I would like to hear more about this also. I've also got a 2005 FXDCi, and I'll be purchasing tires in the spring. I'm looking at Metzler ME 880's. They seem to run about $250 for the pair for the stock size on our bikes.

I have the ME 880s on my 2005 FXDCI now , and have had them on for about a year.
They are way better than the stock Dunlops as far as rain grooves/pavement expansion joints as well as being better in the rais. They do wear faster than the stock Dunlops.
I will probably try Avons next, but want to find out if anyone is using radials on their older ( 2005 ) models. I don't know why harley did not ude them; whether it was a cost issue or they did not handle well with the older frame.
I have also put on a sputhe stabilizer kit, progressive 440s rear shocks and a SE front fork brace. Still stock swingarm and bushings.
I hope we get an answer...
