DGlide.....what year is your bike?
I hace a 2005 FXDCI with the stock 150 rear and was wondering about the ME880's for my bike
did you do both the front & the rear?
If there is no fitment problem I will go with the 160 rear instead of the stock size 150.
My 'glide is a 2004 which is basically the same as your 2005. The 160 should fit w/o any problem. I've got over 1500 miles on it so far and no problems at all, no belt or fender clearance issues at all. The 150 was stock on my bike also, only did the back.

A lot of HD dealers will get you a Metzler. I don't think any will get you an Avon, so if your stuck somewhere you need to find an Indy shop.

I just had a avon roadrunner put on the front of my wide glide. I was replacing my original Dunlop (at 6600 miles![:@]). I am amazed at how much more traction I feel from this tire, especially in the turns. It looks a bit bigger than the Dunlop. Does anyone know the specs on this? Is it bigger than the stock Dunlop 21inch? Maybe it's bigger because it isn't worn out yet.
