Approaching 7000 miles, still more tread but Metzlers would really help!

He's got 365 opportunities to ride in paradise....easy to get 7k on the clock quick in that environment  ;D

I have been looking for both Avon Cobras and the new Metzeler performance tires for our bikes....the 130 front is the problem....have not seen it in a 60 series in a 21" diameter yet....neither company...

I hate, hate, hate Dunlops.  Like riding on bricks in the shape of a sphere-no road feel whatsoever....tire longevity does not interest me...performance does...

tire choice on the FXSBSE is not nearly as critical as it is on my V-Rod, but I still want the best out there..

I can't seem to find the size needed for the front on the Metezler catalogue. what size and where did you get them. I hate Dunlaps and would love to change to Michelin or Metezler.
