There may be hope yet for Dunlop Tires coexisting with Buell Motorcycles. These new Qualifiers look great. I don't know about the ride or wear as of yet. I'll have them installed as a set for $300 today and I'll give you updates.

Quick question. Why isn't H-D carrying this new tire instead of the old 207 and 208? Why aren't new Buells coming with them stock since these are the replacements for the aforementioned?

I just put on a set of Qualifiers 2 weeks ago. They seem to have a more aggressive profile than the 208s do, and they seem to stick just fine. I've got nothing bad to say as of yet. Good looking tire too.

I'd like to hear what you guys say about the qualifiers. I'm thinking of putting them on my 9R after my diablo corsa's expire next trackday.

I went to a Keith Code riding clinic last month. All of his bikes had the Qualifiers on them. He is sponsored by Dunlop and has found the Qualifiers not only stick better than the 208's but they also last almost twice as long with race track punishment. I've yet to install the set I purchased so I have no idea how long they will last but, they had confidence inspiring grip. the front tire is a little more triangular so turn in feels quicker.

You can buy a set of Qualifiers from Keith Code for $200 for a set. My friend got a set for her CB919 this past Tuesday at Pocono Raceway, and they installed them for her for another $20. Can't beat that with a stick!!

I can get them from NESBA trackside and mounted for about $200.
