Post Tire pressures, Please!
130/90 x 16 rear
3.00 X 21 front
tubeless

Yes, I have a manual......for my engine and tranny year but not the rebuild I did using them. Too many later Harley and aftermarket parts to even classify it. Can't find info on tires. Thanks in advance!

OK I'll bite, find the manufacturer of the tires use Google and you should be able to find the pressures. I like running towards the high side of the range.
