Got my tires on, Elite 3...front and back...160 on the back. On a 08 ultra, and went for a ride today and I'm so glad I listen to you guys, you told me how well they made the bike handle and the groves in the road I wouldn't feel and the bike turns quicker.....I just can't say enough about them, I'll never run anything else............thanks to all that guided me in that direction......smokey mountains next week....I'm ready!
Glad you've got the feeling! Hoping any posts I had about these as a must-do upgrade played a part in your decision. Regardless, you'll love 'em as much after 5000 miles as you do after the first 5.

I'm wondering abt clearence too , the 140 is 5.6" wide and the 160 is 6.4" wide .. .8" is a lot inside the rear fender and I was wondering abt the belt as well .. Have ta get the tape out and see ..
Still more than half the tread at 11k is great , best I ever did on the rear with the 402 is abt 13k , and it was skeery around 11k ..
Prolly gonna stick with the 140 here , hate to buy the tire then have an issue ..
