As another option, I just had these put on:

Dunlop RoadSmart

I do about 35 miles a day all freeway riding.  I had the big flat spot but also worn down the sides from the few times I hit the hills.  7500 miles on the stock tires.  I'm really happy with these after about 600 miles.

FYI-
I would consider 'chicken strips' the untouched rubber on the outside of the tire (implying you cant lean over very very), not the flat wear in the middle from straight roads  ;)

ahhh. gotcha.  ;D

also on the tire discussion....
i just put some Avon Storms on my 900SS and really like them so far.
should last pretty well as they are sport-touring type....

I just put on some Pilot Roads on my S4Rs - much flatter then the old Pilot Powers but on the commute to work this morning I felt no noticeable difference.  I've seen claims of 6K miles on the rear so we'll see.

I got them from Comp Acc for $219 shipped.
