Breakout owners: Front tire issue

I went to price replacement tire for the front (130/60 R21) and I'm not seeing this as an option to buy anywhere Stateside.

Appears Dunlop still makes the Elite 3 rear, but I'm getting nothing for the front tire in a Dunlop or any other brand I'd be willing to use.

Anyone had success procuring a front tire lately?

Thanks.

That tire is only available from HD authorized dealers.

My question would be how many miles do you have on the bike that you need a front tire already?

The Breakout has been out for some time now, ........I'm sure that there's a few owners that have gone through more than 1 front tire, averaging 5 to 8k miles.

14383. I bought it new in 2013. I replaced the back tire at around 7k but have managed to get two seasons out of the front.

Thanks for the links 1004ron, looks like I'll go with the 120/70.
