TYRES

Dunlop 
Front 140/75-R17
Rear  200/55-R17 

13000 kilometers and the pair is done. The rear had started showing baldness in GOA ride only, but the front one got excessively worn out from one side on Jaisalmer ride. I believe the tyres would have done more, but credit to my foolishness for never checking the tyre pressures. I was too naive to fathom that tyre pressures can drop even in a Harley Davidson bike. When eventually Malvinder got me pressure caps for the tyres, I found I was running at almost half the prescribed tyre pressure.

Duhh......only that the replacement now costs me 35G's. Time to go workshop.
