I'd just like to mention that the dual compound Dunlop D407s that come mounted on the 2009 H-D Roadglide were good for 20,000 miles. The tires that came mounted on Harleys in prior years were worn out in the 8k to 12k range. I can't give further reports on the "RG"s tires as that was the bike I traded in for my FJR on June 19th.

I do have a 2008 Triumph Speed Triple which has Dunlop Roadsmart tires, also dual compound and unless they get smoked on a track day they look like they'll be good for 15k to 20k miles also.

So has anybody used a dual compound tire on their FJR and if so, with what results?
