I dropped off my rear wheel today to have a new tire installed. Got a call from the indy asking if the tire size I ordered was correct. I'm looking to install a 150 ME-880 Metzeler tire on the wheel. He said I had a 130 installed last year, I thought it was a 150. He looked in the records and said I had a 150 put on my '05 XL1200C.

I have the bike torn apart and I'm picking up the rear wheel / tire tomorrow at noon, hoping to complete my handlebar / tire change out done this weekend.

So for my "quick" question. What is the stock size rear tire width on '04+ Sportys? I was under the impression that a 150 would fit on my bike, and that's what's being installed. Just want to make sure it'll fit when I pick it up tomorrow. Thanks....

 

04 and up is 150/80-16. Earlier years were a 130.

 

Thanks cHarley, i thought the 150 was the right size.

 

Yep, the 03 is 130/90-16.
