Well, here's a shocker
The previous owner of my bike had the cams installed, and apparently couldn't restrain his right hand, so the rear tire is almost history at 2500 miles. I just checked on a new one, and it seems the only manufacturer that makes the replacement size (180/60B 17) is Dunlop, and it's only available through HD. 310.00 for the tire only, thank you very much! How many miles should I expect out of a new one if driven in a reasonable manner?
You need to Google that tire number..Just found a bunch of vendors $197.00

I paid $175 at the dealer in Hesperia. I got around 8k miles. 2500 must be doing burnouts. What cams gave him that much power?
Also, you can get 180s in different brands (Avon, Meztler, Michelin) but only Dunlop has the widest tire provide.

Ya know, I always tell people to google anything they want, and I didn't do it myself. I called my local indy, and they said none of their suppliers had that size. I saw JP had it in a Pirelli for that price. Anyone know anything about the quality of the Pirelli Night Dragon tires? I've used their tires on cars, but not on bikes. Also, I would think the Pirelli should be the same width as it has the same aspect ratio (60). The Dunlop is a bias ply tire as the Pirelli is, not a radial. Thanks Capt.!
