I just installed a 16'' rear on a customers bike, he went with them because he doing a 26'' on the front of his street glide and vee rubber made the only 26'' front tire he could find, he paid about $70.00 for the rear. when he picked up his bike he spunout in the parking lot and laid the bike down, he's been riding on it about a month now and says it does ok but does not expect long life out of the tire, but figures at $70.00 a pop for a rear who cares, I think his next rear tire will be a Dunlop again. They are made in Thailand, the rubber is hard as a rock to me. I think V-Twin sells them but I will not sell them out of my shop, if a customer brings one in I'll be glad to mount it for them, it's their ride, but I don't care or trust them myself, just my personal opinon.
