The Metzeler ME 880 120/70/21 has a 68 load rating as well.

 

about the bigger wheel on your ultra when you lower the rear one inch it makes your bike track better cause of the reverse trees on touring bikes so with the one inch bigger wheel in the front should be good but as said a few post above the bike will sit higher if you ad one inch in the rear it will level it again if youre tall it be alright as for myself 5' 9" id think id be on a foren bike to high ive lowerd my bikes in rear since 1990 eg, 95 ultra, 2000 se rg but on my 07 sg stock rear and front lowered one inch i can tell the difference with the one inch difference on the rerar or the front they handel better good luck bud

 

Funny I just traded my 09 off with that same saw blade tire. Bike had one helluva vibration lol

 

I would love to put one of those on my FXSTC, so the question is does anybody make a tube for that new MoCo tire, or maybe a not so fancy mag to get away from the laced wheel?

 

Bump... any new info or updates on this?

is this a radial or bias ply tire....

does DUnlop make a 200-50-17 that would be a good match for the rear?

can you go bias front radial rear??

 

Bias Ply like all the touring tires. I went over one the other day to figure this out and it does not say either on the sidewall but if it does not say radial it is not a radial.

 

ok thanks for the info... do you know of any 200 /17 rear tires that would be a good match to the Dunlop 130 /21?

 

The tubve to use for this tire is Drag Specialties DS181231. For up 4.15" rims

 

Any updates on this tire? Looking for additional information on cost, availability (dealer/aftermarket) and performance. Thanks in advance.

So is Metzeler making a 130/ 60/21? I see no reason not to try the bigger 21 if they make it, do you?
I've been wanting to try the Michelin tires anyway when the rear tire is gone so I may wait and see what they offer. Since I got my wheel and tire package from you guy's I'll wait for a response from you on this subject.
