    You have to give up a little something here to get a little something extra there. Engineers know this. All design is a compromise. You can't have everything. It's a miracle to me that tires last as long as they do on those baggers.

    I get more mileage on my GeezerGlide tires than I did on my WideGlide...10,000 max on the WideGlide and that 21 inch front was almost bald at 10,000...

    I'll be looking for tires here pretty soon , as soon as I decide what wheels I going with , Not sure if I want to stay with the 21 spoke up front or find some factory mags 16 in for both ends , then I decide if Dunlops or Metzlers
