I'm running Michelin Commander II's. I only got 3,200 miles out of the HD Dunlops and presently have 7,000 on the commanders and looks like I might get 8,000-8,500 out of them. I ordered from a place called rev zilla .com about $97 for the front and $160 for the rear if I remember.

Yeah G we do ride on occasion but only when the weather is perfect, after I've washed and waxed the bike and when my matching Harley jeans, shirt, and bandana are pressed neatly and my boots are shined up. Then I'll usually only go a mile or two to get a salad and an iced tea. Those are good rides haha.
That little trip was a lot of fun. We had planned to ride to the Finger Lakes and then up through the Adirondacks but the roads in PA are so much better. That was the deal breaker for us. It was nice only seeing one or two pot holes in 700 miles of riding. I could hit 4 just getting to the end of my dead end, 600 foot long road. Amazing what not using salt in the winter does for PA.
I love the smell of spray paint in the morning! Looking good Greenie. What did you use? Hopefully it holds up well.

Paint never holds up well on forks. Its going to get pitted and chipped from all the road debris.
I painted a lot on my bike and one nic with a socket or wrench and chipped.
Bought my own powder coating setup and everything painted is now powdered. Smack it with a wrench and nothing.
First pic is painted with several coats, like 5 maybe and at least 3 clear.
others are half sand blasted, full blasted and powdered in gloss. Flawless.
