Now that you catch my drift...I have an Ultra. Stock in the rear is 1" taller than a SG. The 130/21 would make me 1" taller than a stock SG in the front. So wouldn't adding the 130/21 to an Ultra give me the same geometry as a stock SG? Albeit 1" taller but same geometry.

I would imagine there will be initial limited supply since it's a first of a kind offering. And if the MoCo gets first dibs on selling, I can't imagine they'll be cheap.

We just picked up one and it looks like a nice tire. It is a D408 with a 63H rating. Here is a picture by itself and one next to an Avon Cobra 120/70-21. Once we put on on a bike I will post more pics.

Robert:

Will it fit on your 21 x 3.25 wheel and your wrapped fender for the 21?
thanks

Think I'll wait a while on this one. Remember what a "great" new tire size Dunlop produced for the front of the 09's. Looked and road like a circular saw blade in a couple thousand miles.

Here is a picture of the new Dunlop 130/60-21 mounted on a 21 x 3.25" wheel. It fits into our wrap style fender but we did have to let the air out before installing because the tire was a tad bit too wide to slide into the fender without hitting the bolts. Once in the fender you can air up the tire again. This tire will probably bolt right up with the stock fender because it is wider. Our tech has been riding this tire for about 2 weeks with good feedback so far but we will see what happens once more miles get put on. Here are the specs below of the Metzler 120/70-21 and the new Dunlop 130/60-21 to compare. These are actual widths once the tire was mounted on a 21 x 3.25" wheel.

Metzler 120/70-21- 4 5/8" wide...27 3/4" diameter
load rating 68 (newer version)

Dunlop 130/60-21- 4 3/4" wide...27 1/4" diameter
load rating 63

I think that is very cool of harley to do. I will be doing a 21 on my street glide next summer.
