130/70 worked on my Fatboy when I did it and that fender kinda hugs in pretty good , an EG fender should have a little more room.

There's quite a few 130/70-18s, Avons, Metzeler, Dunlop, both E3s & others. Avon, Metzeler, & Pirelli all make a 140/70-18s. I run an Avon 140 & it fits nicely, it's the closest in width to the stock 130/80-16. It also depends on what size your rear wheel is, I thought about trying the E3s but I'm running an 18" on the rear also & Dunlop doesn't make an 18" rear.
