Been riding on Metzlers for years on both touring and dual sport bikes with no issues at all. Love the Michelins on the Dodge though.

I'm due and had a set of Meztelers in the cart on J&P and came across this thread. Of course the rear tire in my size is out of stock. If it turns out I can't wait for it, I'll just put Dunlops back on it.

I’m hoping the Commander III ‘s will be produced in 2404018 soon. Have the II’s on my FXCW wanted to put III’s but not available yet went with Dunlop’s E3

Where's the best (cheapest) place to get the C3's? Any 4th of July sales coming up?

Ride On is great I’ve been using it for a couple years and it’s never been smoother.

Just ordered a front for my RK through Cycle Gear. $199 shipped.

I have a lot of life on my C2 so it will be some time before I’m running them on front and back.

Just ordered some C2'S while there's still some. I don"t care for the price increase, along with the fact that not sure if the one size up will fit the 99 back. Which I've been real happy with. If some one runs a C3 140 on a 2001 or older touring, I'd like to hear about it.

just installed a commander 3 on the front last week as the night dragon was wearing bad, so far happy. to do home balance, ordered a marc parnes balancer, is a great tool for the price.
