I have a 09 ultra classic,I'm about ready to put new tires on.Can someone direct me on where to buy them.I would like to stay with the the stock Dunlap ,But will consider others.Dealer prices are ridiculous. What about the new the touring tires?

 

I buy mine from www.motorcyclesuperstore.com

If you can mount and balance your own it will save you a ton of cash in your lifetime. I know some will scold me for it but im gonna go ahead and recommend the Harbor Freight motorcycle tire changer...........I share one with a coworker and for under $100 it works great. We have changed dozens of sets of tires with it. We also bought a balancer for about $100.

I just switched from 402s to Elite 3s and fell in love with them. A huge step up from the Dunlop 402s. I got them on sale for $100 a piece.

 

Try dennis Kirk, got my stock dunlop from there for about $135.00.

 

I got 17,000 out of my stock dunlap so I just got another one of those. Rear tire.

 

Try the new Dunlop American Elite from Dennis Kirk $265 for the pair with free shipping.

 

Just got a set for Christmas mounted on HD Chrome Roulettes. Can't wait till spring.

 

Try the ME88- Metzlers. I have heard from many they make the bike handle much better and are LONG lasting. I like the handle better part. Good Luck in your search

 

That sounds like a good idea to buy the tire changer and d.i.y. I know a guy that payed around 600 bucks at the dealer for two tires. Thats way too much. I am wondering if Discount tire could balance them the dynamic balancer is way better then the regular static weight balance.

 

here is the balancer we have http://www.nomartirechanger.com/products/9

this is a really nice changer for $365 and is what ill buy if things ever go south with the coworkers Harbor Freight http://www.cyclehill-tirechanger-sec...ults.asp?Cat=1

 

Use dynabeads for balancing, keeps tire in balance for the entire life of the tire. Do a search on "dynabeads" & you'll find a lot of good recommendations.
