Default Low price source for Dunlop D408F ?

After 6000 miles on my 2010 Ultra I am close to needing new fronts. Can't find lower price alt sources for these at any aftermarket tire stores. Anyone have a source for these? HD MSRP is $225. Surdyke HD mail order is $180. Know any better? size 130/80B17--D408F

Dunlop makes a tire they call American Elite that they sell outside the Harley Dealerships. It is a whole bunch cheaper and is basically the same tire without the name Harley Davidson on the sidewall. It is the same compound as the D407 but with a little different tread pattern. They also have the equivalent to the D408 as well for your front. They are made only for 2009 and up Harley Davidson Touring bikes. Try the big bike superstores like J&P and Rocky Mountain ATV. I found Rocky Mountain to be the cheapest on this item. Dennis Kirk has them too if you like to do business with them.
