Default Double dark

For those of you that want to try double dark with a post 2008 Harley touring bike:


http://www.ebay.com/itm/130-80H-17-B...c4d3e4&vxp=mtr


$102 delivered. This is a very nice handling front tire. I normally get 15K miles from the stock front tire. I got better than 22K on this tire.


This is a dual compound tire, with harder rubber in the middle. The thing with it is the more twisties you ride and the harder you ride them the quicker the tire wears.


I ride quite a bit of twisties and it lasted 22K. If you just run interstate, you will get much better life than I got.
