did you go to the honda shop to have them mounted.

Naah... local independent shop... TNT Performance Dyno. Konrad has been tuning bikes of all makes and models for a long time. He's the local Dynojet dealer and has his own Dyno. He's a great guy and good to deal with.

Had to go see him again today to get more DynaBeads for the rear. It seems that when the dealer checked my rear wheel to see if it needed replacement under Recall 0140, the DynaBeads spilled out even though I told them ahead of time that they were in there.  :confused5:

I also think that the Metzeler should get a chance on my bike .
But there is no rear wheel available for the SERG .

Highjagger...

Metzeler makes a 180/55-18 for the rear. FWIW, a 200 will also fit without mods. I'm stepping up to a 200 Cobra next time around.

I'm getting a new FREE front tire Monday. I have to call Customer service as they told the Dealer NO. As soon as I told them it was a safety issue they said OK. My tire has 8500 mile on it.

i just road all the way around the country on this piece of crap tire.  every dealer i stopped at just laughed at me like i was crazy to want a new tire.  so i bounced my butt all the way across the country taking my life into my own hands because i thought my dealer would help me out with this since i cut them a check for $40k and they also said sorry.  i guess it's because i had to ride all the way across the country and the tread is practically gone where it was cupping.  the rest of the tire is good for another 15k.  of course my radio is also dead, probably vibrated it to death so i told them to put my bike back together and do my business elsewhere.  what the hell good is a warranty if they won't even cover manufactures defects?  guess it's time to pick up a nail in the sidewall or have a blow-out.  i'm so pissed i could spit.

John the factory rep told me a week ago thery were coming up with a plan to do something about the tires. They know they are a safety issue. I had mine replaced at 9000 miles for free. I guess I'm a better bul shi%$#@#.

Tires are being replaced. I am surprised anyone is being denied at this point. I would guess some dealers are too lazy to make a call to moco...Dealers know what is best for Harley Davidson and dictate policy at will... :drink:

My front was replaced at 53xx miles. Cupped badly. The rear is in bad shape too (cupped). Don't know if i'll get any help on that one. Still waiting.
