Default DB Tires

Ive read a few threads about getting whitewalls from them in the softie section. I got a set from them and they are metz, 120 front 150 rear. Ive alway ran metz tires and know they like more air pressure, but db tires sent a reccomendation with tires to run them both at 50psi. Seems kinda high for the front, I normally run 46 rear and 42 front, I know metz normal for rear 150-18 is max 50, but for the front I thought it was max 42 for the 120 size. Did any of you guys put 50 psi in your front 120 whitewall?

I know its not a softie, but a lot of the deluxes with whitewalls inspired me. Db does good work, but not cheap

I'm running an Avon 120, 21" up front and the tags he sent with mine are recommending 42 lbs.

Give Tab a call Monday and see what he has to say.

Agreed! The Road King is the only touring bike I'd like to have!

Definitely leaning towards one for my next bike if I get rid of the Luxe (or add to it).

Me too. I'd love to have Deluxe to go with my Springer, but I believe I'll end up going with Road King. My brother has a pearl white Road King Classic with 14" apes and a 21" 52 spoke Mammoth and it is an awesome bike. I can't say I like riding it as much my bike, but I love the smoothness on long trips and I really love the cruise control!
