I just bought a set of Night Dragons for my 07 Fatboy. Gonna give them a try. Had a set of COM II's and the scared the crap out of me. Nothing like doing 90 in the twisties and having the front tire skip across the road. The first time it happened I thought it was the road. But it kept it up on all different surfaces. I did get about 2000 miles more then Dunlops.

After 8k miles, I wore the rear tire out. The front still looks really good. Connecticut doesn't have to many straight roads, mostly hilly and twisty. The tread wore even across the tire. Having the Indy put on another ND next month.

I was thinking of getting the Pirelli Night Dragons for my next set of tires. Notgrownup is the only one that posted feedback for a Touring Bike. Did you run a reinforced size? Any other Bagger owners feedback?
I have a 17" x 4.5" rear wheel. The Night Dragon is available in a 170/60R17 78V Reinforced, only other tires in that size and load rating are the Harley branded Dunlop 407 which cost $'s, and the Metzeler 880 which in my experience peel/loose patches of tread when nearing the end of their useful life.

That's good to hear, I'm due for tires soon. Doug, did you install the 140 in front? Post a pic if you did.

The 140 looks good! Great minds must think alike, I have a new Street Stalker fender waiting on the shelf to be installed.
Are you running lowers on yours?
