My stock dunlop got a hole & I put a Metzeler 880 on it two weeks ago. Couldn't be happier!
And get it from www.americanmototire.com

cheaper than motorcycle-superstore, j&p, or dennis kirk & it was at my house in 4 days.

I used Metz's on my V.Max - evil things they were, never used them since. Obviously a lot more power going down to the rear wheel (145bhp) but any overzealous throttle opening had 'em skittering all over the place - and in the wet, don't even go there!
Just replaced the std Dunlops on the Dyna with Avon Venoms but not got a clue what they're like yet as not used the bike since fitting them. It's going for it's MOT (our annual safety check here in Blighty) on Thurs so when it's back on the road and if I think on, I'll post up what they're like.

Thank for all of the suggestions, I ordered the Metz 880. After looking online and calling everywhere around here I found this shop in Surprise, Arizona called JB Cycle services. They ordered the tires for me today and are going to have them put on by Thursday, for $395. Not to bad, I called harley and they wanted $516 for the OEM dunlops and if I got them online I was looking at about $300 for both tires and shipping, then I would have to find somewhere to have it done and everywhere was about $60 - $80 a tire.
