Default 07 Fatboy Front 140/75R17 who makes one?

I know Metzler makes a 210/50ZR-17 replacement rear tire, but who makes a replacement for the 140/75R17 67V Front tire? Or are we stuck with Dunlops for the front on the 07 FatBoys.

I live on Okinawa Japan and the roads are slippery as hell and the Dunlops just don't cut it here.
Any imputs would be greatly appreciated. I did a search with no luck.
Thanks again everyone
Jesse

Dunlop D205's. I used to run them on all my other bikes but my fatboy has 16's so I can't anymore. They are quite sticky but wear pretty well.

Never had much luck with Dulops but that's what I came up with after searching looks like the only option for a match set. Thanks for the input Bro.
Peace Jesse

The Dunlop D205 is the only front tire available in the 140/75/17 front tire size.

There are two other front tire options available but they only come in the slightly taller 140/80/17 size.

Bridgestone L309
Dunlop D404

The slightly taller 80 profile should fit just fine unless your front fender clearances are already very tight.
