wow is all i can say had them put on saturday. man what defferance they make. handles real nice... now i'm wating on u.p.s. to deliver my throttle up inds bagger brace. should be here before 2pm local time.. cant wait to put that on.

 

I also put Metz on my bike (a week ago).
I'm very happy with them....handles real fine.

I've heard they won't last as long as the Dunlop's...??
Have you heard that?
Does it matter?

 

I ran a few sets on my ultra before I got the RG. They handle so much better than the dunlops. As for wear they will wear out quicker but you got take the good with the bad.

 

I love my Metzlers but hate the fact that the 18"'s are on back order. I had to reinstall my stocker rear until mid month when the ME 880's come in...

 

Whats the deal on 18" Metzlers on back order. I have a 160/60VR18 I need to replace.

 

ok just got through installing the throttle up inds bagger brace.... freaking WOW!!! now i can drag the floor boards with out even trying. that was a really good buy. (going to write them tell them how happy i am ) i did have some trouble installing the shorter bolt through dog bone... but that was because my cross member had a slight bend to it that took me about an hour to fix. other wise real simple to install... as fa as the metzlers i did hear they wear faster. but the indy that sold and installed them said i should get 10k out of the rear and thats ok, cause i change the rubber and brakes every year reguardless of how many miles i ride in a season.....

 

Funny stuff,I just put a Metz on the back of my EGC,the Dunlop only lasted 4,962 miles and by the time the rear wears out I'll replace both front and back with Metz 880's again.They corner very nice and handle nice on wet pavement....

 

My 880s last just as long as the stock dunlops did. They want more tire pressure than the dunlops though. I think it's possible that a lot of people not getting good mileage out of the Metz's may have them under inflated.

Been very happy with the 880s on my '00 FLHT, big improvement over the stockers.

 

I just replaced my M880 18/70/150 Metzeler after getting 10,620 miles out of it. Best I could ever get out of a Dunlop was just ove 7,000. I did have to search all over for another
18" Metz though and had to drop back to a 18/70/140 due to the back order. I just got lucky and found a Dealer with a 140 still in stock. The correct pressure on a SG running Metzelers in 40 psi up Front and 42 psi on the Rear. May be just a little more if you are riding two up a lot.

 

Do the metzelers come in wide white wall or not, cause I'll be looking to get a new set of tires in the winter.
