I just replace mine with an Avon AM42, I've had the ME880's too , both are good.
The stock Dunlop and the GT502 Screamin Eagle didn't last as long or get as good of traction

 

I am planning on installing a stock deuce wheel and tire on my 03 wide glide. I believe the wheel is 1 inch wider and the tire is a 160. Do any of you guys know if this will bolt right up or will I have to get new spacers, blinker relocator kit, etc. Please let me know.

 

jt did you get the tire mounted yret and any prbs with the 180 withhout kit?

 

I would be interested as well. How did the 180 fit? I already have the turn signal relocator kit installed!

 

I know this is too late, but for the record... www.americanmototire.com has the best tire pricing I've seen. Today I purchased an Avon Venom MT90HB-16 rear tire for my 98 wide glide. The tire lists for $145.95 and I paid $107.50 + $12 shipping.

 

I took the bike to a local shop. They have a good Mechanic there that has worked on several HD's in the past. He got it off and they only charged me 60 bucks fo everything. He told me it was rusted in. They cleaned it up and put antiseize on it.

The 180 fits fine wothout the kit does not rub or touch anything.
And I originally tried americanmototire and had ordered a ME880 170 from them they cancelled my order when they informed me they did not have it in stock and did not have any lead time on a new one. Good prices but if they don't have the product they may as well be the worst prices.

 

so what 180 brand of tire did you go with?also post a pic of bike from rear if you get a chance.didnt have to reroute the wire harness either?

 

It is the Dunlop Screaming Eagle GT502 180/60 17 I got it at Zanottis for 150. I did not relocate anything. I already Had sideplates for the sissy bar and luggage rack But there was nothing in the way. I'll put about a 100 miles or so on it tomoorrow so I will post a review after that. And I will get some pics this afternoon.

 

Here is a pic of the bike from the rear. I took it out for a 30 mile test run. May ride to work in the morning but it will be cold. Low 30's forecast for here in Southern Illinois.

 

Looks good! So you left the harness in middle of fender then also?lotta questions I know lol
