Good advice already posted, I'm also a big fan of the E-3. The MU90B16 is a good back tire for an '08 touring bike. I just read your thread, I changed my rear yesterday.
20,700 miles before tread wear indicator became flush with the rest of the tread...very pleased. Good traction tire in wet conditions.
Good luck with your purchase,

Just had new tires installed yesterday on my 2010 StreetGlide. It came with the HD branded Dunlops, 408 on front and 407 on rear. I got 18K on them and probably could have gotten maybe another 2K or so but I was "ready" for new rubber (got some trips coming up). I am very pleased with these Dunlops and got another set just like them. I rarely ride two-up and do not ride aggressively so maybe that accounts for the high milage. We will see how well this second set holds up. Had them installed at my local HD dealership so I am to ashamed to say how much I paid for them.

My new rear is supposed to be here on Monday. Been using E3's for the last 40K miles. They stick in the twisties just fine and drag the boards from time to time...

Pirelli Night Dragon
Somewhere in one of these forums, a rider mentioned that he had the Pirelli Night Dragon tires on his Harley. He got good mileage and they stuck like glue in wet conditions.
As I move onto my next set, I am going to do more research on these vs. the Dunlop E3s.
