don't know what the e3rw is. But I can't say since putting a 160/90/16 on th rear and a 130/70/18 (2010 front rim) on my 2008 it's like I have a new bike. It's night and day over the 402's. I'll go as far as saying if I get a new bike and it has 402's they'll be on eBay as new take offs.

I too will never run 402's again. The E3 on the rear grips much better than the 402.

When I first got my 08 I thought I screwed up not getting the ABS option. There were several times I got in trouble with the back end trying to get in front of the front end.

Then I put an E3 on the rear and Have been happy ever since. Never have a problem with it like I did the 402.

I am going to get about 10,000 miles out of the E3 MU85B-16 I put on the rear of my 2007 Ultra. I am going to try an Avon or Metzler next. Have had good service out of both in the past. Dunlop has got enough of my money for a while.

E3's absorb the imperfections in the road and smooths out the ride...give it a try and you will not regret

Just put one on the front of my 06 uc. Soooo much better. Tracks like it's on rails.

I'm running Elite 3s and have found them to wear pretty well but they hum in the corners,

I have the E3s on my 07 RKC and I have put about 4k on them so far, I am here to say they are awesome tires they feel like they hold the road better. I also get the humming. That's my report hope it helps!
