Hi all
Any one be able to advise me on the best rubber to put on a 2003 Harley
Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I have been running the Avon's on the bike since I
got it but they feel very woolly at the front. Since getting it, I've been told
to stay away from them by a lot of people?
Trouble is Dunlop's are so expensive here in the UK. (£200.00) - ($393.51) -
(Each)
Just wondered what any one else uses?
I'd like to keep white walls on there but I hear so many stories of bad handling
I don't know what to get?
Thanks
Lil Hagrid
