Are you kidding? I'm from there and last year they were a disaster lol. I'm gonna be visiting a friend in the Detroit area, more friends in Flint and family in Grayling. Last year I took the ferry over to the Harley Museum but probably not this year.

If you live near Ruffsdale Pa.Try road rash cycles. Ask for Mike. He sells tires pretty reasonable there and mounts and balances cheap also. www.roadrashcycles.net

Turns out you were right, I was wrong and I'm pissed.....

If you go to the Jake Wilson website and enter 2010 road glide custom, it shows tires available in the american elite for front and back. I ordered based on that and they are sitting at my indy shop to be installed tomorrow.

They're not gonna be because after seeing another post a few hours ago the same as yours I got concerned and entered the same information on their site and this time paid attention to the tire size it showed. It doesn't fit. I called them and had them enter it on their site and they agreed with me and said it must be a 'glitch' in their system. They tell me that Avon Cobra tires are the only ones they have that will fit my bike. Based on some crappy reviews on those I'll pass.

So now I'm screwed....seeing as I just purchased an extended warranty on the bike including tire/wheel I thought it may be logical to just go with the factory replacement tires. When I tried to shop those online it appears they are dealer only availability. Damnit, I can't win!!!

Go to their web site & enter 130/70-18 (63H) & you'll find the Dunlop E III in a bias tire that should be compatible. They just hire phone jockeys that don't know **** about bikes, the E III should be fine. I'd make them pay to return the mistake & ship out the new one.
