I found the Dunlop The Sportmax Touring D205 tires.
The website states it is ideal for Sport/Touring riders that like to enjoy all-round performance and is the OE fitment on the Honda CB1100.
One small glitch they are in Europe.

On Monday I will check with my dealer to see if they can order me the OEM Dunlop's for my 2017 as I soon need asset.
If not available in the USA than I will look at the UK or even Mr. T.
I do like the tire and has nearly 6800 miles on them.
Babbits lists the OEM Dunlop front at $184.99, tube $25.69, and rear $163.57, tube $28.67. If I remember right, free shipping believe. Included tube prices as we all have different ideas when it is time for new tubes. They have a toll free customer service number to confirm availability.

The shipping costs to England are terrible. I had a set of model train diesels that an English friend wanted to buy. When I went to the Post Office and was told the price I walked away. I e-mailed him and he expected as much, so I mailed them.
Ordered and paid for a new set of OEM tires for my 2017.
I also ordered new tubes to be on the safe side. Total cost including tax bit no fitting : $ 508 !

I'm going to probably get 8k miles out of my OEM tires for the '17. That means 8k divided by 508 = 15.75 miles per one U.S. dollar.
My car tires for my Pilot cost about about 700, and they last maybe 45k miles. That works out to be 64.2 miles per $1.
Interesting.
Darned expensive things, motorcycle tyres. I've just ordered my 8th set. Angel GTs this time. $AU70 cheaper than the PR3 alternative but AU$100 more expensive that the Bridgestone T31s I've just run.

good to know it can be done. I'll go that route when the time comes, unless something better, made for tubes, and the right size comes along. which is unlikely.
You probably can get them a little cheaper on line but I like my local dealer . (MR Motor Cycles in Asheville )

I'm getting the impression that only Honda dealers can get the OEM tires for the '17ex here in the U.S. Based on limited searching: honda dealers says no problem, Houtman says he got his from dealer, yet when I try two independents, they can't get OEM.
