Rear tire near gone at 8900 miles
I, too, am very close to needing a rear tire on my '06 Low Rider.
I called an Indy first. $75 if I bring the new tire, tube and rim stripplus the wheel and tire off my bike. $100 if I bring the new t, t and rsplus the bike with wheel still on it. They didn't carry Dunlops but had a Metzler for $247; tire only. $360 to put the Metzler on the bike when I drive up. I called Cajun HD. $65 to mount, check spokes and balance new tire I bring. $200 for a Metzler tire. They didn't have any Dunlops in stock. American Motorcycle Tire on internet has Dunlop K591 17" rear for $114. Tube for about $22. Rim strip for about $1.50 $114.00 tire 22.00 tube 1.50 rim strip 65.00 mount, check laced wheel and balance -------- $202.50 total at Cajun HD for new Dunlop K591 on my bike Pretty good. I'm on it pretty quick. |

Yuck,
That's what I figured looking at the tread on the front. Next change will be near double. |

I guess I am lucky with a place that will mount and balance as well as taking the wheel off the bike for $20.

I don't think the 2/1 ratio works when your mix manufactures.....
