Wasn't Metzler having a quality control problem recently? Aside from that, I like the Venoms better that the ME880's

I have had both on my FXDWG. I prefer the Metz for the handling.

I have had both... honestly couldnt tell the difference! They are both so much better then the Dunlops you will be happy either way. I do like the way the Avons look a little more though!
