When it comes to cars and bikes, do your own research and make your own decisions. I would have bitched and moaned big time.

Before you put 1 more mile on that tire I would go back with that info and be like "Hey, i had you guys pick out a tire, you picked one that isn't safe to be on my bike, I'd like a new one".. then tell him you want a metzeler or avon or michelin II or night dragon..whichever

I also re-worked the license bracket to lay down the UK's flag size plate that also got chopped down. A little better but can't wait to get back to states ans have a small one again....

I looked up tires and I would have bought the Mich Cmdr IIs but they aren't the "Harley" Dunlops.

If I would have done the research like you say, I wouldn't have had to complain. I'd have the right freakin tire. If the dog woulda stopped to shyt he woulda caught the rabbit. I should have known better at my age.

I reall like the look of the new anniversary tank emblems, I might. Have to steal a idea or to, wish they had a dark custom logo tank badge I think that would look bad a$$, just saying
