Hi Harleyrdr!!!!
&nbsp\\;
The stock tire size is MU85B-16.&nbsp\\; Metzler has a alpha-numeric replacement of the same size.&nbsp\\; Will be getting the same for my ride here shortly for Sturgis.&nbsp\\;

An MU85&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;Dunlop&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;is a 140 which is&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;wider than a Metzler 140.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; A Metzler 140 is about the same width as a 130 Dunlop.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Man we really need to do something about these back slashes and semicolons.

You can easily stick a 150 Metzeler on it.&nbsp\\; 140 would be about equal to stock
