Harley eventually switched over to Michelins as stock tires because of the complaints about the Dunlops.

+1 on the Avon Cobras. They were like turning a light switch on for grip for me on my '06 Street Rod. Lots of other owners like the Metzelers and Pirellis.

As far as the warranty, did you make a decision on that? I sold my Street Rod at 58k and had one major issue. At 54k my output shaft bearing went bad. It was $100 in parts and $75 in pizza and beer with the help of some friends to fix it ourselves. The engine case had to be split.

Other things to check for:
1.) Triple sprocket bolt likes to come loose. Needs checked if it hasn't.
2.) Fall away adjustment.
3.) Clutch and brake fluid change.

Also check out 1130cc.com for more information on yore new ride.

Nice bike! Have fun!

Doc

May not have been the best choice but I went with the Dunlops installed at the dealer, I've since removed the fairing as this is not my touring ride, pics coming
