The rear tire I blew out at about 3,000 miles so never got to wear it out . Just had it in for the 5,000 mile service and they said I needed a new front tire. So I got one,same one that came with the bike.Dunlop408 21 inch. I don't ride hard or fast(most of the time anyways) But 5,000 miles and its worn out.They said 2/32 tread depth left.Am I getting reamed or is this normal to be needing new rubber every 5,000? less
05 Deluxe, 18,000 on the rear, 23000 on the front. both original stock tires, and I weigh about 170. Mostly laid back till I get the urge to race through the gears.
Mine is either Silver or Big Fella, and if your from my generation you know where that came from. It is an 05 Deluxe and is Chopper Blue and Pearl White on top thus the name Silver.
