I've gone through 5 rears so far and still love them and as soon as the front is gone I will put one up there.

 

I traded my Fatboy and had just bought a new Pirelli Night Dragon 150/70-18 Rear for it... I will sell it for $120 Plus shipping OBO...Brand New never mounted.

 

Everytime I push the handlebar for a corner, I SMILE .. I do not see myself riding anything else.. been the most fun 4000 miles so far (I have not ridden that much this year ).

they still look good but it is only 400 Clicks and I have a light bike with 80% Solo riding and I am not aggressive on acceleration, only on corners, best wear I got is on the chicken strips on the tire side .

 

You got me sold on the night dragons.! I guessing your running a 150/70/18 n the rear and fender clearances is good. I ride a 2004 fxsti

 

Hey I'm bringing this back up out of curiousity because Motorcycle-Superstore.com is having a sale on these right now, 39% off.. basically for a 140/75R17 is $135, and a 200/55R17 is $152.. I'm debating whether or not I want to pick up a set at those prices just for whenever its time to change the tires out.. though my stock ones are still in good shape.. so. yeah. decide for me because i'm tired.

 

With 100,000+ miles on this FXST ive tried a lot of tires and by far the best is the night dragon! Long wearing and as good traction as ME880. Do it!

 

how do the sizes run in comparison to other tires. I am considering a 150 front for my crossbones, there is a 150 dunlop that will fit, but the 150 metz is supposedly a little too wide for the fender.

 

Just had these mounted on my Train along with the new wheels. The front is about the same as the Dunlop profile wise but the back has a more rounded appearance than the old Dunlop almost like a sport bike profile. That extra crown in the tire may be what's improving the handling everyone talks about. Since it's January in MI I guess I will have to wait a couple of months to try them out, but I do love how they look on the bike.

 

can you roll the dunlop next to the pirelli and see if there a difference in width?

 

Doesn't look any different width wise, it's just about a 1/2 to an 3/4" taller because it is rounder in the center instead of flat across like the Dunlop.
