I saw that and I actually asked the folks at the HD dealership.....they said it was OK....i also saw the orientation on another bike ... I think it will be ok.
I wonder how his will fare when it rains and the water is channeled toward the middle of the tire, will he hydroplane .....versus the way I have mine set up.....just thinking out loud.

Check the directional arrows on your sidewalls! Your arrows should point in the opposite direction to the way your front wheel actually rotates.
AVON is in the Motorcycle Tire Manufacturing Business. If I buy an AVON Rear Tire and they say to reverse the Direction when using in the Front, then I think that's what I would do
FWIW... "the folks at the HD dealership.....they said it was OK"...
On a completely side note from the rotation thing... I really like it, I would not have thought to put a big tire like that on the front. I've been looking at the bigger wheels out there (23" 26" and so on) and they all seem to have those tiny little tires on them... I would love to see a combo of a fat tire like your and a large rime like the others... Like I said, looks great though.
