Those are both in the Harley Parts Catalog. Your local dealer will be able to get those for you.

Regarding those Coker tires...
"Handling is a bit different, ok, just different."
How did the handling change? I am REALLY wanting to run a vintage style tire on my '14 Forty Eight, partly for the look, and partly to fill up the front space between the front fender and tire. But, I'm a newish rider (~1 year exp.) and I admit that I'm hesitant because of some potentially wonky handling issues. My main concern would be with grip in corners, and proper feeling of stability when on highways etc., that sort of stuff.
I'm looking at the same tires you're running, or maybe the Shinko 270.
Thanks!

While they feel different than the stock or similar tires, they hold in the curves just fine.
We've ridden hundreds of miles, at well past Double the posted speed limit, in curves and never had a single issue.
There are two things to be aware of:
1. When you drop into a curve, they feel like they are going to keep going...ie. it feels like it is going to keep leaning more than you want it to...but after you learn that they won't, you begin trusting them and they work well.
2. They are pretty soft (so good grip), but they also wear out more quickly.

Appreciate that you're going to be using some of our parts.
Yes, we have a couple of pretty spectacular Ride Reports that will be coming out of our planned trips this summer. Also, shopping for some new/upgraded camera equipment, so we should have some really great shots too.
