Default Dunlop D205 for 07' fatty

Are these the same compound and such as the OEM installed tire for the 07' fatty?

Appears the stock tires, Dewlap D407, are made for and marketed by Harley itself? at a mighty markup of course.
I see a direct replacement size on the AMT site listed as a D205 but exact sizes at pretty great prices.

DUNLOP D205 140/75VR-17 FRONT $107.53
DUNLOP D205 200/55VR-17 REAR $121.68

They might not be exactly the same compound, but they will work. Since they dropped the 491 I'm going to try the 404s.

The D205's are great. They are softer than the stock tires but still last quite well. I can't find 205's to fit my fatboy or I would get them. They are great tires. Low price and nice and sticky but last well...IMO the stock dunlops are hard as a rock and offer extremely poor traction not to mention the tread pattern sucks if you ride on roads with rain grooves in them...
