I went with the Avon Cobra set up on my 08.  Installed 1.5 oz. of dynabeads in front tire and 2.5 oz. in the rear.  Have put about 250 miles on them and lovin' it.  I can actually see clearly in my mirrors.  Ride is smooth and sure in the twisties and I'm pretty sure I've put pavement to every square inch of aggressive tread and have cut through the slick silicone skin.  I would recommend this set up to any one and every body that has seen the Avons on my bike love'em.

I have just had the Avon Cobra tyres fitted last week, so I test rode them over Klausen mountain pass today, I have alot more confidence in the grip and handling when compared to the stock HD Dunlop.

The long footpegs are my excuse for the "chicken lines" unused tread at each side of the tyre, I have been working on this issue, after todays ride the left foot pegs is somewhat shorter lol
