    I have a Kendon full bike lift, but JMO it's a bigger PIA to
    get it out load the bike, strap it down, jack it up (have air compressor model)

    Working standing up is great and it has the drop rear but
    I can do a rear tire easy and I don't have to lay on the concrete unless
    I need a nap now! LOL

    Thought the 2nd link worked, I had the web page open so it musta read it somehow.
    The computer has a mind of its own sometimes I guess tooo.

    I clicked on HD and went to AVON tires and went to rear tire and went to the 2nd page and they had a Avon 180-65-16 tire for like 193.00

    FLHT was statin the only place you could git the tire was the HD dealer.
    Mabe you can find the tire at a Indy shop
    The dealer is always HIGH on tires.

    Hope in a year of two Metzler comes out with the tires for the 09-10 bikes.

    HD wants to figure out how to make you come back to them, and they do a great job of it. Just some things are too high.

    Cardboard I said the only place to buy the tire that was made for the 09-10 bikes is a Dunlop and right now the HD dealers are the only place to get them. When Avon come out with their version the Indy shops will carry them. My HD dealer sells tires for less than the Indy shops do. The new Dunlop fat tire for the 09-10 Ultra is 181.00 through my HD dealer, Latus Motors. They also ship UPS.

    Got the bike all cleaned up and took her out today. New tire sure corners a lot better. :)
