To 07BigDog:
Yes, you definitely can use an Avon Cobra on the rear with a Venom on the front. When I first switched from Dunlops (Elite III) to the Avons, it was early in the Cobras life, and the 21" was not yet available for the front. I emailed Avon, and there response was that as the Cobra was basically replacing the Venoms, there is no problem mixing them, and having the Venom in the front and Cobra in the back was fine. My dealer told me the same thing. I ran my bike that way ('05 Chopper) until the tires got to the wear bars and had no problems.
And, if I'm not mistaken, bikes run all the time with a radial in the back, and a bias up front. However, just to be sure, try emailing Avon and see what they said. They were very helpful in my situation.
