I hope it's real soon in my case. At 300 miles on these stupid Scorchers I'm getting the weirdest low frequency vibration up through the bars (whole bike actually) at about 30-35 mph in a slight lean situation.

Research indicates it's the tires but I talked to Harley and they won't own it. It's really off-putting and I'm not putting up with it long.

Normally get 15k out of the back tire and 30k out of the front.

If he charged you to align it, has he been charging you for the rotation too? I usually just align mine with the handlebars

5500 miles on the rear stock K591.. .it's too soft. Switched to to the D407, 13k on that one...no sweat, and doing the same riding on the same roads. Stock front about 11k... have the GT501F upfront now.

I've gotten maybe 10k out of the Michelin Commanders I put on last year. Both the front and rear are pretty much done.
