    I've got 06 FXDWG 21" night dragon on front 7,000+Ks still looking good, 180 x 17" rear 4,000+Ks still looking real good. Took a Dunlop off the rear and put the Pirelli on first corner what a difference it actually wanted to turn, feels great seams to hang on good much more confidence inspiring than the Dunlop. I might try a Avon next but at the moment couldn't be happier with the Night Dragons.

    Im 700km in to my 3rd rear night dragon and first front one. I'm getting between 6,000 and 7,000km out of rears.  Great tire though, they hang in well wet and dry.  When the rear runs out of grip it a smooth controled drift.  I love them they are magic.

    I got 6544 km and 5715 km out of the last two front Night Dragons. The rear has done less than 5k and looks like it will be good for at least 8 at this stage , maybe more. Great tyres.
    Cheers and stay safe

    Got 12K outa my last rear for the Night Dragon and 15k outa the front, but both were looking like my forehead when I changed em. I bought them agian, love the grip with them, but good on the highway too. Got less mileage from the Dunlops and not as good in the twisties either. Running about 35k a year on the Fat Boy Lo, and a lot of highway running, but really happy with the Night Dragons.

    Pulled the Night Dragons off mid Febuary. 10,000 on the front 21", 6,500 on the rear 180 x17". They had a little bit left but I was going on 3,500km run and they wouldn't make the distance and would have been haiey in the rain. The rear was starting to chew the edges of the tread and the traed disapeared real quick in the last 1000 kms. This is on a basickly stock 88" Wide Glide.

    Great info, the Dunlop don't give a lot of confidence in the wet so a change to the pirelli night dragon is on the cards.
