I'm Running a 157/70ZR18 front in reverse mounted direction. It's a Metzeler Tourance NEXT2. This is a tire rated for 168mph, and it's a taller diameter increasing ride height by a small bit.
I've been running a reverse mounted 157/70 ADV tire in the front for 2 years, it's excellent. But I do tear them up fast.
I'm definitely liking these tires but I have no idea how long the front will last.

 

WOW! absolutely over the moon ....

Got my S&S mufflers, license plate bracket, seat & handlebars on.

Still looking for a full rear fender before I decide on what wheels & what size.

 

Latest part arrived this morning

 

That is something special, never have seen this before.

 

I had one of these on my evo softail years ago and was just waiting until they made one for the new era M8's
