Have you priced tires lately.

Regardless if you pay $40 or $30 (new Limiteds are $30K)
it's never fun to be stuck with one supplier. Competition keeps prices down.

Yep, they handle just fine in high speed corners I know I had it at PRI race track (that's where the Indy cars race). We raced around the track and it's not an oval track either. Had the bike coming into corner 1 at 115 hammer the brakes, lift and set her down into the corner then flip it over to the next one coming out into a straight and hammering it at full throttle. To the next set of corners. Oh yea they handled those corners with ease CB. Out of 20 bikes that stared I came out first. Not bad for a big ol heavy SE bagger.

The CVO rear tire size is
Rear Tire (Full Spec) Dunlop® 180/65 B16 81H

13 Limited is $28K

SE Ultra Classic I believe is 38,990

I got mine for 34,000 new list on it was also 38,000 but it was December so I got some money off but list was actually at 36,000 as they had done there usual tack on.
I do not regret it one bit. Find a one year old unit like Maddog did, had some miles on it but think he paid 30,000 to 32,000.

Take an Ultra or limited, add in
Custom Paint
all the electronic goodies
bigger engine
custom wheels
BYO CVO
and you'll be way over the CVO price

Ive added a windshield header, baffles and tuner
that's it, nothing else is needed, in fact I've
spent nothing on upgrade because It's got
everything.

In the long run my CVO cost $10 or more less
than the Heritage I upgraded all the time...

Avons weight rating is below the Dunlop...

Probably would work though....

Avons tend to wear out to fast... At least the ones I've used in the past..

Talked to Michelin and they don't have the correct tires yet
I think maybe a front but not a rear, so hopefully soon...

Just went ahead and bent over the counter for some Dunlaps,
I'll get a full year (15K ) out of them...

I just don't understand what is wrong with Dunlop. Why are those out there who have to prove Dunlop a bad tire or over priced tire. If you look at how they are built and what they do and perform they are a superior tire. Sure Harley is holding onto the them to long. I've rode Dunlop's for many years and totally stand behind them. I buy them for my SE Ultra at a very good price and don't pay the retail price either.

I am not dissing dunlop, just the absurd agreement with HD that only allows production of this tire with the HD logo on the side, dunlop has moved the stock HD tires into the American Elite line, which is the same tire sans HD logo so you pay less.

And that is exactly what I purchased last fall for my new tire on my SE. It is exactly the same tire just does not say HD on it and yep got it for even less. But its still a genuine Dunlop tire.

I know CB will come on a dish the Dunlop all to heck and don't care I think there the best tire for my HD.

I just around to be able to post from my computer ,But have been able to read all post & it sounds like ole CB is ragging , He's bad mouthing any thing & everything ,maybe ole santa didn't bring him the right toy ,My softie came with the dunlops 402's & so far so good wet or dry where my 03 E Glide didn't do worth a crap in the wet with dunlops ,so I ran the metzlers & there where great on there

Maybe CB got cut off

With the new Dunlop tire I usually run em to 15,000 and still have tread to spare.

something like that LMAO seems he don't like any motorcycles , bad mouth the Victory & New Indian hell he were's a space helmet anyway so no body would have seen him I test rode them both & different models of both & they ran & handles great ( just not the vision)
