Zedman, 

I believe Pearcy fitted a set the other month. 

Talk to him out at Coota or send him a PM.

  

 

 

set fitted great for cornering, better curved rear than the dunnies.

Had both but I don't hang off the bike at 100kph around a hairpin to see what the difference between the 2 really is. I do have more confidence in the Dunlops in the wet for some reason, don't know why.

I run nothing but Metzlers on the Heritage and have done so for years. Regularly get 20K out of the rear and have never had a problem with the handling aspect of them regardless of the conditions.

Love my Pirelli Night Dragons on my Vrod .......

On my second set got 20,000ks front & rear & a much better tire then the dunnies on the streety.

Around town and shorter trips not much difference. If your doing a round oz or over 8k trip put Dunnies on. (especially rear). Only got 8k outta the rear on last trip around, new one in Port Augusta. Front mets still on at 15k.

Had 880 on the rear, 4500k...Dunlop 407 average 6000-8000...Going to Avon next...

Bt

Got a budy of mine that is getting the ME 880 for his Nightster! I can check if he's got them already and what he thinks. From what I heard is that they are super great for road handling and feel but depending on road surface and a warmer climate, they won't last as long. If you get the 4 seasons throughout the year, then they should be fine!

Well I just got 20000 out of the dunlop and about to put another on for the wet.

Been running Metzlers on Road King for years. Got 16,000 out of a rear touring across the States.  IMO better tire than Dunlops.  If you like doing brake slides, backing into corners and lighting up the rear at traffic lights, the Dunlops are hard to beat.  The Metzlers hook up too good for hooning.

 

"Anything black and round"

Well, I've imported a bike and the US tyres had to be swapped over for something else to make compliance. I've opted for Metzlers on the basis of you blokes feedback...

I was a fan of Metzlers back in my motocross days so let's see if their knobbie-less tyres are just as good!
