Sorry mate, I have a 2010 Fatbob. I am sure it only comes with a 180 rear but someone here was saying they had a 200 rear on their standard rim and that it just fits. I am looking for an altenative to the standard or the Metz as I am dissapointed with both as a drive tyre.

So I guess I am looking for feedback on the Avon tyre as well as its fittment on a Fatbob.

Cheers- Ant 

 Interested to know if the Metz you tried was a German or Brazillian one. Never had a traction issue with the German ones.

Another option is the Michelin Commander II which they make in a 180/16. Still waiting to hear reports on these.

Burto.

Will check and report back once I get home Burto, let you know tonite. I have made a few enquiries and Rocket from on here has fitted a 200 on his std rim in an Avon and is loving it-

Cheers -Ant

how wide is the std wideglide rim?

Interesting.. My rear Metz is made in Germany but my front is made in Brazil.
So far I've been happy with both...

Put 880's on my Fatbob a couple of months ago after a two up scare with the Dunny's. The 880's are the bomb and the missus reckon's the ride is better as a passager aswell. Only did 16000 on the Dunny's, and I know a couple of people who done lest on them before pissing em off.

 There are fifty reviews here on 880s:

I have Metz 880s and compared to the original Dunlops they are magic, especially with braking, but the Dunlops had been on the bike five or six years when I bought it and were the originalswith next to no k's on them so they had probably hardened up.

brazilian is the go mate

Had metzlers on the kwaka 900 35 years ago.

They were the best then, we all ran them on our dirt bikes as well Enduro guttsy tyres

Fitted them to my streetbob when the dangerous dunlops wore out.

STILL THE BEST

fucken dunlops worst tyre ever made. good for fuck all

fucken double posting

post whore

.

They ok if ya putt around, get big mileage ,but if ya ride
hard you will find that they don't grip like other tires and
often lose traction in wet and dry. Each to there own but
as has been said you need confidence in what's under you
and I have had scares on a few occAsions on diff bikes with
dunlops.

it doesn't matter what brand or how good they are if you have no confidence in them you will not enjoy the ride. Only way to find what works for you is try them. Can be a long and expensive process but when you get the ones you like it will all have been worth it.

 I love loosing traction its part of the fun

that avatars hilarious Will67

yeah fucken crackup, love the way he flicks the scaff back like he means business

well i was at harley gold coast service dept other day gettin my fatbob 103 stage iv an sevice dept managa goes check these ,i said i want them now on my bike he said these r the first set to arrive in his hands didnt even no how much 2 charge yet so i couldnt even buy them . but now u can as i speak u can import yourself but by the time u go threw all the dribble then still av 2 pay someone to fit them how much r u savein ,he told me price 475 a pair fitted ,heres the funny part there dunlop yes thats right they r in a full sports like profile an pattern u will be impressed just lookin at tyre an cheaper dan dem motocross chunkers . i was impressed 2 say the least the front is thinner i noticed they look jus like a full on sports bike tyre not sure of preffixes or data i think they r dunlop elite sports tourer ive looked some america sites an seen them u will not see them listed here in dunlop website i saw them at j&p cycles aftermarket parts warehouse anyway we now hav a sports tyre for our fatbobs thats made by dunlop and recomended by dunlop its better than avons an watever else is out there im puttin on mine SHINGLES

but if you change the wheels like me to 18" instead of 16" then you would already have some nice dunlops from the VRod range and save 7kgs on wheel weight
