Hi,

In doing some research, it looks as if the rear tire on this bike is "Special." Apparently not many other bikes other than Harley's VROD use this size(180/55R-18). So when you go looking you have to search for the V-ROD:spank:

I have found two options:
Dunlop 207ZR
Metzeler ME880

Of the two brands, which tire do you think is better?

Thanks

I have researched this quite a lot lately. Due to the weight of the Beast, most people will say Metzler over Avon. (avon is made by Cooper tire and are great, especially loved by the sport bike crowd)

I just got the Dunlop Elite 3's and love em!

I would not recommend O.E.M. Dunlops.
