I am amazed at the questions that get asked over and over again. Do youpeople not know how to look at the other posts on the site or not know how the search button works.


I will now answer all your questions....

What oil to use put JB weld in all three holes works beautifully everytime fixes any heat issue there may be.

What Tires to use cut old rubber off JB weld Sides of rims guaranteed to last 30000 miles....

What pipes to use...... remove old pipes JB openings it will make it sound like a champ.

What handlebars to use..... Take old bars, put JB weld on the risers....


Sorry to rant I get on here everyday and the same old things are here just posted by someone else.

I also just quit smoking after 20 years 2 weeks ago. I am a little on edge. So if this offended anybody. I apologize....LOL.

 

Michelin I think you will find that the Michelin is also load approved for baggers

I think I'll tryDunlopElite III's, heard good things about them. Better handleing and longer tread life.

Here is a good deal http://www.tireexpress.com/moreinfo....TOKEN=36579163

 

I had duns on my 05 RK...changed to Metz 880's as they have a more round profile than the duns and makes riding grooved hiways a pleasure. My buddy on new RK was all over the road that was grooved.....then rode mine and could not believe the difference. Plus, I like them better in the rain!!

 

JDTest, maybe you should smoke a stogie right about now... just kidding!

 

METZ are the way to go! I have used Dunlops for several years and decided to see if the Metz would get rid of my high speed wobble and have a better grip in corners. I just got back from a trip to Deals Gap, ( the dragon's tail ) I could not be happier with the performace of the tires. I know that the dunlops would of not handled those curves at the speeds I was going.
If I can get 8-9k in the rear I will be happy. I know reading some of the post riders are getting a lot more, but I tend to push the envelope whenever it is safe

 

I am in process right now of changing from Dunlops to Metzlers. Guess I'll know in a few days what the difference is like. Sucks having the bike in the shop, tho.

 

An HD tech at Sturgus once told me it costs Dunlop 100dreds of thousands of $$dinero to develop a tire suited for the Harley Dresser and other vehicles. Why trust another maker with the tires. Ive only run the stock tires since the early 80's with all my HD's..
I feel there is no better tire than Dunlop.My 2 cents

bikers have more fun than people do!

 

I just got rid of my 98 Road Glide that had a set of Metzler 880's on it with about 7/32" tread left and the tires were incedible. I picked up my new 08 RG yesterday and obviously comes with the Dunlops. I must say, I had a much better ride on my Metzlers with miles than my new Dunlops. In the past I have also had Metzlers on my BMW and loved them.Frommy experienceI would definitely go with Metzler, but that is just my opinion. Others have theirs, just wanted to help you out. Ride Safe!!

 

I can't believe what I'm reading. 10, 12 even more miles on a Rear? Come on. 10 is all I got out a the rear when I lived in the flat lands. Now I live in the Smokies and I get 8,000 . doesn't matter what type I've tried most all of them. In 60,000 miles on my 02 I have never gotten more than about 8,500 mile and that was driving like a baby. Don't get me wrong, I don't abuse them I just use all of them.
