Will definitely let you know on the Metz Bro.. OEM Tires was a blessing to wear them down on the trip as far as riding it .. The pics show how it should be ridden and know would have got better Handling and Tracking with Metzlers..

84 FXRDG, (custom), defineately not a sporty, and the way it trys to blow you off the seat when you twist the wick is nothing short of greaaaaaaaat as tony would say. Mine is heavily modded, and loves to run.... and the gears are tallllllllllllllll 75-80 is cruising, my tach says 7K is not an issue... loves to pull 6 in 1st. and second... and everyone else is in the mirrors... only problem is I run out of speed...way before that...the stroker knocks my feet of the pegs at 60, but at 70-75 its almost as smooth as my wing.... I said almost, after all it is HD..... LOL...
