I'm running Avon Cobras on a 100/100 plus S&S 107". As for suggestions, c'mon, there are plenty of suitable tyres. If you don't like your Dunlops, there are other brands! Just read any other tyre thread and you'll find the usual suspects all get named in pretty short order, as will happen here.

Thank you for all the input. I settled on the Pirelli Night Dragon. I based this on suggestions and then searched for reviews. Apparently Pirelli intend these tires for just what I need. Straight line acceleration, but will hold corners as well. I need hard, straight line acceleration. As stated, well over 100 HP/TQ with 3.37 gearing up front. 70T on rear and now dropping the trans pulley to a 29T. For those interested, I found the 150/80-16 Dragon for only $130 free shipping at Rocky Mountain ATC/MC. Every place I found was about $16-20 more. So same basic cost as Dunlop, but hopefully more traction. I have other bikes to ride for cruising and getting tire wear mileage. Mileage was not the concern here. Thanks again.
