I just installed an Avon Storm on my 2006 SG. It is supposedly better in the rain. Only got 5800 miles out of the Dunlop. I bought it at Cycle Gear. They are currently running 20% off in tires.

Metzeller 880's for me. Just replaced the Dunlops after 12,500 miles on my FXDLI. Love the new rubber. I don't feel so beaten after half a day in the saddle. Bought mine at motorcyclesuperstore.com. Great prices.

I'm using the Screamin Eagle Dunlop 180, fits the original rims, good grip, softer compound, shorter life. Can be used with or without the Harley Davidson wide tire kit. (See below after photos for another 180 made by Pirelli)

43197-04B Dunlop Screamin Eagle GT502 180/60B17 blackwall tire 17" rear $172.66
40502-06 Dunlop tubes 17" inner tube 160/70-180/60-17 center metal valve $20.24

43101-06 Dunlop rim strips fits 17-inch center valve rims $3.48
59514-06 rear fender inner side plate replacement bracket 2ea $9.87ea
4592 screw 2ea $3.18ea
10065 cable strap 2ea $0.45ea

Prices from Zanotti's:https://www.zanottimotor.com/shopping/plookup.php










Another 180 tire available for the original rims is the Pirelli Night Dragon Tire.

Pirelli Night Dragon Tire Review:
http://www.motorcycle.com/products/p...iew-76648.html

Description:
Brand new from Pirelli comes the Night Dragon, the first pavement peeling muscle tire dedicated to V-Twin cruisers, customs and choppers. Driven by racing technology, the Night Dragon is aggressively designed for PERFORMANCE and styled for stance; the Night Dragon intimidates when prowling or parked. The Night Dragon is a unique, premium product oriented to Harley- DavidsonŽ and metric-cruiser riders demanding grip performance with forceful style. Today's custom cruisers and hot-rodded V-twins with increased engine sizes, more torque, more horsepower, and upgraded suspensions, create a combination demanding tires dedicated to driving that performance to the pavement of America's highways. The Night Dragon's street-wise tread pattern blends biker style with riding performance by maximizing the contact patch for fast warm up, quickly giving the rider confidence of stability and traction. The hydrodynamics of its groove placement ensures efficient draining in wet riding conditions; the Night Dragon's front tread design cuts a path through water for the rear, and the calibrated grooves of rear tire disperse the residual water, for controlled grip in all conditions.
