Default RE: New Tires

Hey bgismo20,
If you search all the forum threads you'll see lots of info and opinions about other tires (metz and Avons mostly)................I switched away from Dunlops (like many others) to Metzler 880s and doubted all I read about improved performance and ride characteristics. Once they were on my bike, all the positive comments proved TRUE. I love them and would never go back to the Dunlops. I bought the wide whites off eBay from Eastern Performance........good prices and free shipping. I hope this helps!!!

Wide Whites will look awesome on your Springer.........it's the only way to go IMHO !!

By the way, are those torpedo mufflers slip-ons?, and if so, what is the brand and how do they sound? They look great!

They are screamin eagle slip ons w/ the fishtail tips, they sound GOOD, not to obnoxious, but they will set off car alarms when I roll by, they definately imprived the sound on the bike
