Nice...   I can only hope.  The hard part is about to start for me - the tedious job of cleaning, painting, and assembling the motor.  Afterwards comes the wiring.  Yeah, it's gonna take some time, but I have a lot of firewood, and Fall's a comin"!

I ran Dunlop for a while, Coupla rear, one front lasted for the the life of the two rears,IIRC. I think I did Metzlers after that. I need to see what is on it. It's been parked behind the shop for going on three years. Seems like I got the pair for about a cheeseburger and a malt less than two hundred.
Something about having fun and getting much more than five thousand miles outta any rear tire is just not easy.

My Avons have a more aggressive dirt tread than those Dunlops, but I have no idea how they feel or wear.  I bought them on a size and looks match alone.  But I guess I will find out if the $$$ was well spent or not.

They lied , it was only 109 today. And Dunlop tires put up a good fight , hella sidewalls. My hands and arms will be hurtin later. Always a challenge, never easy , not one drop of blood shed , wish I could say that about the sweat. I already don’t like the shape of the rear and they are heavier than the Recalled tires. Really trying to keep it at or under 315 lbs. , I did say trying , lose a little gain a little , have no idea what it weighs. I’m so mad at Continental , keep shopping for something , something intimidating and sexy. But for now it’s all about the truck tires  , I mean Dunlops. Still a great tire just not what I was looking for.

Yup , my arms feel longer for some reason. While installing it I remember seeing these tires on sportsters and gold wings. One tire iron went flying still haven’t found it. They should last awhile , I like Dunlop’s just not fond of these. Boy baking them in the sun for hours before installing really softened them up and it was still a battle , not a epic battle but a good battle , I Win ! Again !

Got both of the Dunlop D404s on finally. And as suspected it lost its stance that was so perfect. Front tire is taller and the rear is lower and narrower I know the rear is bigger than the front but on the bike they about the same. Bike is more level now than it was before with the Continentals lower in front & taller in the rear , looked way more aggressive and evil. I know it’s a good tire , 10 times the tire of the old Kendas, gonna ride like it’s on a rail , but they gotta go. It won’t be anytime soon but they gotta go. 4 dismounts , 4 mounts and balances , hella work to make the bike look worse. I need a drink !

Take some tooth picks with you or wear a full face helmet.

Look there goes Ruttly on his Sport/Touring Street Tracker

Oh no , ain’t happenin

Sorry Dunlop

Continental never again

Almost ready to lace up some 17” hoops

I can’t win. Took it off the lift to clean another bike to sell. Still tire shopping
something has to pop up sooner or later.
