Were these the tires that were the subject of an H-D service bulletin or were those the D407?
Hey Oldhippie,
When you had your D407s replaced was it under the service warning by Dunlop, or on your own? and did you replace both tires? I had the dealer change my fron tire under the service bulletin by Dunlop, but they didn't change the rear. Now my tread on front and rear run in opposite directions, and the handleing has gone bad. does anyone think the tread direction might be a factor? By the way, it pushes when cornering, and floats, or sways on straight aways...
Did you check the tire rotation arows for both tires?

Depending how badly worn the rear tire is or if its rotating properly.
The sensation you could be feeling is that with a worn rear tire while cornering you are falling off the squared edge that usually occurs as the rear tire wears.. As to your concern about tire running the wrong way it needs to be corrected ASAP. Do not ride in the rain till you take bike to shop. I would request the rear installed for free with new tire purchase for satisfaction of sending bike out of shop in a dangerous condition.:newsmile077:
