that was on the front, and I have no idea how it lasted that long! No nitrogen, just air from my compressor. Pressure at whatever the manual specified, don't recall off hand, but I didn't check it all that often.
Close to 500 miles on the E3's and YES they are everything I had heard they were / are.
They changed the way I look at and ride the bike. Is the Electra Glide as nice a ride as my Road Glide was...........NO
But its a lot better now with the E3's then it was the with the 402's.
Its a work in progress. I've added lowers, a fork baffle, changed windshields 4 times and added progressive 440's. It's better. OK but not great.
The tires DID make a huge difference. I rode the bike hard the last few days and could really appreciate the difference in handling and feel of the road.
You are correct, great tires and glad you have had the same great service from Jake Wilson.
These E3's are perfect for my riding style and they grip the wet stuff.

So bottom line is i highly recommend the E3's
Change the fork oil over to SE heavy, and you may consider a bagger brace or similar. I haven't even changed my rear shocks and my bike rides like it is on rails with the E3s, SE Heavy in the front forks, and the bagger brace.
I've got about 1,000 mis. on my 2nd set of E3's.I got over 13,000 out of the 1st set.
The rear wasn't completely worn out,and the front was about 1/2 wore out,but going to
FL the 1st of July so I got new tires now.One good thing is I didn"t pay much more for
2 E3's than I did for 1 Harley Dunlop. The handling is greatly improved and the ride is
outstanding.Since most of my riding is 2 up I want only the best for my wife and my
bike to ride on.I think the Dunlop E3 is it.
Put my first rear E3 on last Oct at 51,022 miles. Just swapped it out last night at 73,931. 22,909 miles. I didn't expect much of a bump going from the 402's as I was getting 12-13,000 on them, but had figured a better ride. I got both. These tires are amazing.
Is there a size that will go on the 2009 Road King Classic? I am not ready for new tires, but I sure want a pair of these when the time comes! Please advise... I know that things changed last year, and knowing HD, I will probably be excluded from the party for some god forsaken reason like HD doesn't want me buying anything but their tires for a while...
