I run Avons on my Glide and have used them for many years. You will find they give a better ride, grip and handling, but may not last as long as stock Dunlops. As for fit the rear should go in with no problems, as it is nominally the same width as the stock tyre. At the front, measure your rear tyre and see if there is room for it in the forks. It may be close!
I've tried oversize tyres several times and what we have to be aware of is that tyre width when fitted is rarely the same as the stated size. The 150 Avon Venom on my Glide is actually 153mm wide, but I believe the V rated version is even wider. So it is not as simple as making sure you have 150mm between the forks, you may need more!
