OEM got nail at 10K, would not have ran it to 12K..fast forward to this week, Dunlop American Elite with 10K nail in it again! would have probably made it to 14K..they start off with 1/32 more tread front and rear than the Dunlop OEM 402, 407/408 combo or whatever they are..used the AE's on last bike and couldn't wait to get them on the M8..they are definitely better overall

yeah they are, that's a good price..I paid $574 with new valve stems, which were $8 apiece (had to remember to ask for them as they don't replace by default)..and no $50 Dunlop rebate at the time like the previous pair dagnamit

did 20K service, flushed all hydraulic fluids, adjusted steering head bearing, needed rear tire..they found the rear wheel bearing disintegrating, rotor damaged and sprocket pulley and bearing..all done under warranty,,had them put on new pads..so final bill was $1133 for everything, all refreshed and peace of mind heading out on long trips..if I hadn't noticed the nail in the tire all the other stuff would have likely gone unnoticed and could have been catastrophic
I sure can't. How the MoCo gets away with this kind of bullshit is beyond belief!

Advanced
The wheel bearing issues are the new cam bearing issues of the EVO bikes . I had mine replaced in my 09 Ultra because of faliure. The problem was only on the ABS equipped bikes. it's nice to see they are still staying with the same supplier and the simple fact that the same problems keep rolling on from model year to model year
