That's BALD!!!

 

Just switch to E-3s at 16k.....Front still looks great but changed them both.....Back was due but IMO,Still good for around town...
Very little 2up and i'm EZ on the throttle....

 

I get 10000-12000 out of my rear Dunlop, and I get about 20000-24000 out of my front Dunlop.

Only thing that would make me swap the front sooner is if it was cracking in the tread.

I got 17500 out of the original rear Dunlop sold with the Bike. It's being changed tomorrow. It isn't at the tread limit yet but its singing like a soprano in turns and that noise drives me nuts.
I suspect it lasted like it did because I have been a bit **** keeping pressures exact and I also run it at 42psi rather than the Harley suggested 40psi.
I have no idea how long the front might go but 20000 looks likely.

 

I knew an old man that owned a tire store for about 50 years.
His motto was "If you can't see tread, see Fred".
Put it on signs, billboards, everywhere.
The man died a millionaire a few years ago.
True story.

 

Mine was still in good shape at 21,000 miles when I switched it along with original rear tire.

 

How is Fred doing?

 

Gotta love guys that resurrect a nine year old post, would have been pissed, but those nipples were worth another look.
