I really like mine. I've got 15k miles on them, and they still have plenty of life left, and haven't flattened out in the center like the Dunlops did by 12k miles. A plus is, my dealer stocks them, and they are less money than the Dunlops. Happy, happy, happy since I also have the ESP with tire warranty!

My bike has a MT 90B-16 72H on the Front, the Rear has a MU 85B-16 77H in the Dennis Kirk Cat it says 90 not 85, so my question is will the Com 2 90 fit my Dun 85?? Kirk has some good prices. Kirk has it as 130/90 for the rear??

I have a set of commanders on a 09 electra glide std with around 6000 miles on them. just about every time I have road in wet conditions the rear has lost grip. I bought the bike with a new dunlop on and put around 9000 n it or so and never once had this problem.

You can get the rear here 130-90B-16 for $135.99 shipped. The front same size is $114.95. I have spent hours looking for the least expensive tires and so far this is the cheapest I have found.

I'm really looking forward to see how they handle ... my dunlops were pretty worn out when left my bike at the shop so in all fairness, it's been awhile since I've rode on good tires. My dunlops got nearly 20,000 miles both front and back.

You doing really good on the rear may I asked what bike you are riding. When my bike was a solo bike the most I got out of a D402 on the rear was 11,000. I tried a E3 on my rig on the rear and I will be lucky to get any more then I do out of a D402 on the rear. The fronts have always lasted at least 20,000 and more. I am hoping to get at least 10,000 on the rig with the CII.

I've had a CII on the rear for about 3K and so far it's been great, and cheaper than most others too. I'm getting ready to put one on the front soon. To the OP -- have the progressive upgrades been worth the money? I've got a 08' RKC and was thinking about doing the stabilizer link - just curious?
The shocks and front springs are a big improvement over the original.
I feel the stabilizer link has made the bike feel safer at higher speeds.
Just seems to handle differently, kinda hard to explain. You just feel it in the seat of your pants, if you get my drift.
