Great, I just ordered 2 130/16's last week and waiting for them to arrive through local shop. Guess I'll look'em over when they come in. What do I do if they look too skinny? Run'em I guess. Is there a problem other than they look funny. Had my doubts about Metzler.

I wouldn't panic. Metz's always have been a little bit narrower than everybody elses (don't know why). I ran 1 Metz, handled a little better tha the HD Dunlop (06 Dyna). Metz raised their prices considerably, and I went back to the OEM Dunlop. Funny how good the new Dunlops seem to handle. Hate to be shallow, but the Dumblops look nicer and cost less. ..... I excede 110 mph quite often, and don't have any problems. I do think the Metz did a little better in the rain, and less squirelly on rippled roads.
