those of you looking to alternative to the SE 180/60/17 might look at one of these, my indy got it in for $145

stock dunlop was down to 1/32" @ 5800 miles

looks great!

 

Is it the exact same size as the SE 180 ?

 

yes and it is made to fit a 4.5" wheel

 

Looks good!

Keep us posted with your feel for the tire, will ya? I've been curious about the Night Dragon's handling and longevity. I can't tell from the pics: Do you still have the stock Dunlop up front, or did you get a Pirelli for it too? Looks like it might still be a Dunlop from the tread pattern.

Cheers,

looks good...now tell us how she handles! I like the price that's for sure...but I gave up long ago buying tires from the dealer... they out-priced themselves long ago.

 

Longevity is key I got 10000 miles from my originals,but the tek said I would have gotten more but neglected my tire pressure at the end of last summer.Do keep us posted asa!

 

I must be extra hard on rear tires...I don't do burn outs at all but rarely get over 5500 miles per rear. Got that on my sportster.....on my electraglide standard....and now my street bob.....I'm just used to it....I don't like a tire with thin tread tho so usually I could probably eek out another 1500 miles...but I like to err towards the cautious side.

 

yea, the front is the stock Dunlop, it still has close to 5/32" on it.

I did price the front while I was there and it was $90.

I will update as soon as I get some miles on it

Dyna...looks good but it doesn't look as wide as the se180. Maybe it's just the angle and such.
