Default Tires for baggers

I"m looking for a new rear tire for my electra glide. I have been looking for a white wall tire with Harley Davidson engraved in the white wall. Is there anywhere else I can purchase this besides the dealership?

If you get a Dunlop (which is what H-D tires are) without the H-D engraving you'll save a wheel-barrow full of cash.

If you want to match it you will have to bend over and let HD give it to you... Ask for a little lube....

do a google search for whitwall paint.. then just paint the raised white lettering yourself...
eBay has paint pens.. no idea how they work.. but not expensive to try..

You'd be surprised who has those HD marked tires. I once had to have a tire replaced in Ontario and the YAMAHA dealer had new D402 HD tires..... Just take your meds and go get a plain D402.

easiest is to get a black one and then you will never have to worry about those white stripes or keeping them clean...
