I would still need it fitting though, that's what's put me off buying from Heide.

Dunlop rear and Avon front? Now you're asking! I'm staying out of that...

I was just going to edit my last post and say that, I'll drop in tomorrow and have a word with her.

Thanks for the help...

P.s. Does anyone have any advice on mixing (or not, the case may be) the factory Dunlop rear tyre with a new Avon Venom front?

P.p.s This H-D Dunlop factory front has done 6000 miles and just about still has a mil of tread left, 1000 miles since I have owned the bike, Is this normal wear for a Dunlop 21" front?

If it was mine I would put the Avon on the front and when the rear is worn out replace that with an Avon. Otherwise you will be stuck with Dunlop. SMD charge £10 I think to take off your wheel but check with them. Only 1hr 30 mins ride from you taking it very easy.

I am on mixed tyres ie Dunlop/Avon on Sportster.

Interesting - do you have a postcode for SMD Tony? It might be a good ride out, also do you have a phone number for them.

That's put my mind at rest, you are on mixed Tony. I'll start with Avon front then rear as suggested.

Thanks

Thanks all for the good advice given and to Tony for taking time to look up the info I asked , I just have one unanswered question;

Q: This H-D Dunlop factory front has done 6000 miles and just about still has a mil of tread left, 1000 miles since I have owned the bike, Is this normal wear for a Dunlop 21" front?

Cheers
