I was told by the local Harley dealer that Metzelers should not be ude on a large bike such as the Heritage. The tire do not have the sidewall support like the Dunlops. I think the dealer is pulling my leg - anybody chime in on this?
I've been running Metzler ME880's on my Fatboy for 6 years and have not had any issues like posted. I think the dealer is full of it!!
