Default Dunlop D205
Anybody running these? They came stock on the screamin eagle Fatboys. If you run them or have are the better than the stock 09 Fatboy tires D407, 408? Looking at replacing mine soon most likely going with Metzler 880 but thought I would check these out to.

That was the stock rear on my '08 Night Train. It's an "okay" tire, but I like the Avon Cobra that I'm running now much better.

I've been thinking on the Metz too. They are about 150 on motorcycle superstore.
The Dunlop is closeout at Dennis Kirk.

I think I'm gonna go with the Metz's TK can you post that pic again of that 150 you had on the front? Once again did you have any issues with that tire rubbing on the sides of the fenders?

I'm running the D205's on my '07 FB now after having 2 sets of D407's previously. Haven't had them on long enough to determine if they last long, but they have some big shoes to fill. I got 11,000 miles out of both previous 407's. I do know that I like the way they handle better than the 407's.
