With regard to the front end, I think I mentioned that I'm running Progressive springs, Ricor valves (which require 5 wt oil) and a fork brace. I think if I ever swapped out front ends, I'd go inverted forks. Problem is that I just don't want to keep throwing $$$ at this thing.
Again, thanks for the replies and suggestions. Appreciate it.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but have to say....
I mounted the Avon Storm II Ultra in the rear (radial) and the Venom 90-90/21 (bias) up front. What a huge difference over the Metzler ME880!
I got the tires scrubbed off and then took it out and pushed it hard through some high speed curves, and the difference was just amazing. Not once did I feel the dreaded "frame flex". Love this tire combination, couldn't recommend it enough.

Hi guys, I've just bought an alloy Deuce rear wheel that I plan installing in my Glide! I intend using the Avon Storm 160/70 tyre, but could use a bit of help from anyone riding a Deuce on one right now. What is the fitted width, over the edges of the tyre? I need to see if I can squeeze one in on my bike! Thanks for helping out.
