Default Is anyone running dual sport tires on their Dyna?

I am setting up my 2010 FXD to be a little bit like a dual sport or enduro bike. I want it to be capable on gravel roads and sandy dirt trails along with doing well on the 15 mile long highway we have here.
Does anyone else have off road tires on there Dyna?

OP, Google search Rusty Butcher or Tracker Dyna. That should help you out.

No sweat. Tracker harleys are becoming quite popular these days for good reason.

I'm interested in how you go with this thread. I'm thinking of riding up to Cape York (Far North Queensland Australia) on my bike next year.

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).

Take a peek at the shenko 705 tires.. they are a more street based dual sport tire. My kid runs them on his klr and likes them.

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