Another option is the Pirelli 180 Night Dragon:

Info below regarding the Screamin Eagle 180.
The Dunlop / Harley Davidson 180 is made specifically for the stock width (narrow) rim and is only available through Harley Davidson dealers because Dunlop only makes it for Harley Davidson. I don't think there is anything else out there that fits the stock width (narrow) rim yet.
Try shopping at Zanotti's or Chicago Harley for parts, and find yourself another dealer or independent shop if your not doing the work yourself. More info below:

I now have a 160/70/17 rear tire that needs replacement. I'm going wider, called the Dealer and they say there is no 180....wtf? They say I can buy a 170/60/17, and they only sell Dunlop tires. I thought they made a 180. They also say they won't install anything but a 160, what it's called for. How do I get a 180 for a 06 streetbob?

I agree with what "AdrianVall" wrote above, I also didn't use the kit and dressed the wiring = no problem, but after an accident my original straps were damaged so I replaced them with the ones from the kit.
Here's some photos and info on the Screamin Eagle 180 kit, tends to look bigger with a chopped fender.

Tire rides better, handles better, but wears faster, in my opinion. Still I wouldn't have anything else on mine based on looks, fitment, and ride. The kit secures the wires to keep them from rubbing against the tire. If you can secure the wires and are comfortable that they are secure, there is no need for the kit. I've had mine well over a year without the kit with no problems. As far as only being able to buy the tire through a HD dealer, that may be true but, if it is, my indy must have ordered mine through a HD dealer and sold it to me because he ordered it and installed it for me cheaper than the dealer would have and he was willing to do it without the kit and the closest dealer was not.
Regardless of what else you can make fit, the SE 180 remains the only 180 that was designed specifically for the 06 and up dyna stock rear rim size.
