for those with metzlers 21/18 what pressure are you putting in tires?
I run about 45lb loaded and about 42 solo
They wear for **** no matter what. I am on my 3rd rear in 15k and think I will go back to the avon venoms. They look better and are softer. I think they last just as long too.
Plan on lowering the front to compensate for the added height you will be glad you did in my opinion.
Of course on ride yesterday saw a couple with 23" fronts but that is too extreme for me on a bagger if you ride on trips. Talked to them they love it and the look so I guess 21" is going to be old school soon. C&C single seat coming with a pillion for the 2 up tour pack rides!

Ditto, I would not run the mets low on air they do not like that on my set up anyway. I run at or close to max all the time. Front wear seems ok but rear is not the beat. Maybe I have a heavy right hand? I may look at Avon next time but have to check tire dia as clearance is CLOSE now with stock fender in front.
