I put a pair on my Dyna a few years ago when Dunlop was unavailable due to their strike. I mount my own tires, and had a hell of a time getting the Bridgestone beads to seat. I will not go through that again.
After they were on, they seemed OK, but I am not a demanding rider. Traded the bike before I had a chance to see about their longevity. Also, you would need to double check the load ratings. I would guess they are not rated for the weight of a touring bike. Overall, I would recommend against it.

sounds like they have thinner sidewalls than the Dunlops. when i added Michelins it took three of us and a couple of ratchet straps to get the beads to seat. the ride was worth it though. much smoother than the Dunflops.
