Default New Avon Cobra front tire?

Anyone running the new Avon Cobra front tire on their Triglide yet? What do you think of it? Can you tell any difference in the ride and handling?

I'm running it on my '12ym. I haven't put a lot of miles on yet, just a couple thousand. But it feels great so far. Was in a little rain with no trouble. But I do wonder how it will do in rain after it gets some heavy wear.
But right now it runs great & feel good on the road at speed.

Just put one on my 2014 and could not tell any difference between the stock Dunlop and the Cobra. Time will tell.

I replaced my front with a Michelin Commander 11 130/90 rear put on reverse direction and it works as well as I could have expected and if it lasts longer than my oem I will be a happy bunny!
