Just ordered one of these for my flux in 150/70/18 anyone have any experience with these? Is the load rating enough for my bike riding 2 up? Thanks

If that is for your rear tyre, it has a lower load rating of 71 than stock. If you ride 2-up or heavily loaded, it doesn't look to be a good choice IMHO. Do you really mean 18", or is it 16"?

I use Avon Venoms on my Glide. a much more suitable tyre. That 150/80/16 has a load rating of 77, which is a much better prospect.
