I think the size you'll want is 130/90-16 for both front and rear on a 1994 Glide.
You can check out the Bridgestone/Firestone site at CLICK HERE

good luck

From that linked site given above:
Notice that One tire spec's is ( 130/90-16M/C 16 VT01F BW TL )
And yet another tire has the spec's ( 130/90-16M/C 16 VT01R BW TL )

Both are indentical, except the letters that read either;
( VT01F ) or ( VT01R )
The letters "F" and "R", designate, "F"=FRONT and "R"= REAR.
The FRONT and or REAR has their own ratings.
Check your HD Owners Manual for the spec ratings.

hope I answered the question you were asking.
If not, try again. Because I may have misunderstood your question.

I've never tried these tires, but they do sound pretty good except I usally use Wide White Walls and not the Black Walls listed on the link.

I checked the Bridgestones out also, but their offerings wouldn't make the load ratings for my Ultra. I figure your Roadglide should have the same load rating recommended as the Ultra. I looked at several manufacturers and decided on the Michelin Commanders in MT90-16B size. They have the same load rating as the stock Dunlops as long as you stay with the metric size. The metric size is the same equivalent size as the 130/90-16, but with higher load ratings.
