What kind of tires have you all found to work well in the twisties. I had been looking at the Michellin Commander II tired but didn't know what else is out there. Looking for something that is pretty sticky for corners and everything else.
I run the CII on the back, I've been happy with it in the twisties, wheelies, burnouts, and still plenty of tread left. I'll be replacing the dunlop on the front with a CII. Ran a shinko on the front for a while, until someone decided to put a knife thru the sidewall - wasn't happy with the amount of sidewall flex on it though, you get what you pay for in a tire, and I mainly went with the shinko because it was cheap...
The three tires that I have been looking at are the Michellin Comander II, Metzler ME 888, Pirelli Night Dragons. Looking for a sticky tire for the twisties but I also do a fair amount of highway riding but I believe all will be just fine for extended periods on the highways
I've done both the Michelins(CII and scorcher) and a Night Dragon rear on my Harley and the Night Dragon is hands down far better than the Michelin for anything twisty. Only had it on for 2.5-3k miles so far so no idea on the mileage compared the Michelin but from everything I've read the Michelins get better mileage but I'd rather have the extra grip.
Waiting for the paint to harden up so I can buff and wax before I install. Fingers crossed I have it on by the weekend. Very happy how the ColorRite paint turned out.

Looks really nice.nim going to have to steal that idea.
I'm going to be starting a chain drive conversion on my 1997 FXDL. Is there anyone who has done this on a similar model that can comment with spacing, tools needed, etc? Searched the forums and most info is for newer bikes.

You need a 1/2 inch offset front sprocket and a dished rear. No spacers.

Ok. I guess I'll just need to figure out how large their spacer is since I've already ordered the chain and sprockets from different vendors. Thanks for the help!
Btw, what ratio did you go with on yours and how do you like it?
