As to where to buy depends where you live.. you don't say
Standard size for rear is 160/70VB17 but get the following model
160/70VB17 Metzeler ME880 R RF TL
as it is reinforced and works better for a heavy cruising bike

Shipping takes a week or so, but I don't think you'll find a better price.

I bought a 110 front and a 170 rear plus tubes etc for less than $250 shipped.

You can fit 180 on stock rim. Plenty of guys on here have done it and you do not need to buy the Harley wide tire kit. Do a search they are very helpful.

I don't think you'd want to try and put a 16" tire on a 17" wheel!

I paid $273 for front and back at the dealer, before 10% discount - don't rule your dealer out just cuz its the dealer. Rear is prolly more for you guys, I have a 150... but I can't believes its that much more. Pluse I went with a fater 90/90 21 on the front.

The point we are making is that Metzler doesn't make a 180/17 tire. Our 17" rims are orphans!

You can get the 180 Dunlop (Screamin' Eagle), but that's it!

ME 880's are good tires, I had a set on my last bike and I loved them. I plan on getting a set for my FXDC when its time to dump the factory tires.
