I put AVON's on my bike and I agree there sticky but they wore out fast so I went with the Metzlers next still pretty sticky tire and better mileage wouldn't have changed brands if they weren't so damn pricey! Trying the Dunlop elite 3's now

Thanks for the info guys. I just figured they cannot get any worse mileage then my stock Dunlops, so why not spend the money on something else just to see. Avon does not make the exact size for my front on the Fatboy, so I have to go a little bigger, but that should not matter.

Thanks

i have a nice bridgestone on mine now,but i will use the cobra next change like i said! but i have to agree with the guys about the grip,and particularly in the wet! i had far more confidence in wet and dry cornering with the avons, havet tried the metzlers! couldnt afford them
