Default Dunlop Elite 3

I know this horse has been beat to death but I saw it's tail move so I am going in for another swing, does anyone know if the Dunlop Elite 3 160/80/16 will fit on the stock 03' softail standard in place of the 150/80/16 I know they say the metzler will just did not know if this applies to any 160/80/16. Thanks I know a 1/2 inch is'nt much but I am not mechanically able to go through the whole wide tire install myself.

i checked the size of your tire to the elite 3 and the elite is taller but skinnier. should fit ok. .6in taller will not be noticeable.
