Honestly, the don't look much different in tread design than my oem tires on my fat bob....

I like that tire! I was looking at them but the widest they make is a 170. That's only 10mm narrower than the one I got for the rear so maybe I'll try it next time.
They make one the same size as what I got for the front but I really like the Bridgestone TW22 for the front. It has that double solid strip down the center that I think will work well for on road.

A guy at Frasers did a Dyna Scrambler last year which was sweet. I want to do something like that but for long distance in isolated country. I did a couple of thousand kms on gravel earlier this year (in/among 10,000 on tarmac across Oz) and it was surprisingly good just with Mich Commanders by lowering the pressures (17psi front and rear seems its sweet spot).

Great... now I need to own a second Harley.

Well...technically it's a FXR and a more of a "Speedway" bike

In front of me while getting gas...you don't see that everyday

I like that bike right there. The Sportster tank on a Dyna looks real cool and really sets it aside from the herd. Individuality is a lost concept these days....
