I have my Metzler on the rear and the original Dunlop on the front. 06 RK Custom. I have no problem at all but when the front wears out I'll get a Metzlen there too.

Good to hear about the Metzler's riding good. I had put a set on another bike & really
liked how much better they rode & handled than the factory Dunlops. I am on my 3rd
rear tire & still the original front at 21,000 mi. In about a 1,000 mi. I'll be ready to change
both tires. What are the best sizes to use on my EGC? Also,has anyone tried Avon & how
do they hold on a large tourer?
