I just ordered a set from Dennis Kirk $289 to my door for the set.

congrats and just remember to keep the air pressure up, 38f and 41r

Front and rear delivered to your door for $289 is great. I'll turn my riding bud on to that. He is pleased with the mileage that he has " squeezed " out of his E3s . Mike has no interest in going " Darkside " (yet ), so he is tolerant of the noisy ride.

40 is going to make the fron ride harsh try 38 first

i found that when e3's are new is the time to always make sure that the tires are at 38/41, less noise now and less noise later

The singing doesn't start until 4,000 miles or so later regardless how much you air pack the pipes on a 1800.

the e3's on my 1200 hardly make a noise and the e3's on my 1500 just barely make more noise that the ones on the 1200 but as you know i cannot speak on e3's fitted to 1800 wing

It's a different beast. 1800's are tough on tires, especially rear tires. Why? Ask an engineer. There is a difference between " road worthy wear " and " audible annoying wear ". The audible annoying wear, to me, comes way before the road worthy wear. Some can ignore it, I can't and its not for a lack of trying.

Great deal on E3' thanks for posting.

I have the E-3's but next time c/t for sure on the back and undecided about the front.
Does Conti make a front tire? I had these on my 1100 Shadow and they wore very well.

Welcome in advance.

I don't think I've heard a single good report on E3's on an 1800, seems like everyone hates the noise. sumnc, did you not like the Bridgestones the bike came with?

 

[Wingmaster12]

IMHO the Bridgestones are much better tire, they r 30.00 more but well worth it.

 

[detdrbuzzard]

glad i don't have an 1800 wing yet cause i would be looking for tires conti's or met's

 

[detdrbuzzard]

ii really couldn't say if conti's or met's are better than bridgstone tires, i'll just say i won't buy bridgestone tires regardless to the application
