    Hi 

    ok so pretty simple .................REAR tyre issues on 2003 fatboy 
     - My Dunlop 401 gave 25,000 kms 
     - My Dunlop 404 gave 10,000 Kms 

    So im after some advice if anyone knows why a 401 gives a far better mileage than a 404.

    tyre pressures on bothe tyres was 36 PSI and no i dont pull burn outs 

    The tyres look the same to me . One HD Dealer said that a  D404 shoudl not be used on any HD Bike as its " not rated" to take that load .....bloody confusing .
    The the dealer says you cannot get D401's anymore - what the fork .

    Thanks in advance as always 

    Cheers

    Are you sure you got 25 k out of the back tyre?  Did you lend the bike to your Grandmother?

    BB - Yep 25 k all right . These aint sport bikes so they roll pretty much in a straight line unless you think you are Toby Price .

    401 just seems to be so much better (just not sure why)
