I went through the same question when I replaced my tires on my Heritage. Hopefully you can access the Mezt website. It has great information on all the tires and what you can fit on your specific bike, with and without modifications that would need ot be done. BTW, I love my Metz.......much better handling and feel than the stock Dunlops.
