RE: Metzler MH90-21 vs 90/90H21 ?
The ol'lady's father just got Metzlers for his '92 FXRS. After doing extensive research (the guy is a research fanatic) and talking to a Metzler rep somewhere down south, he reported that Metzler is starting to make tires in the "Harley sizes" since they are so popular with the HD crowd. In edition to the "Harley sizes" (i.e. MH90-21) they have engineered the tires to Harley's inflation specs as well.
I guess there was justtoo much confusion about Metzler tire inflation on HD bikes for us knuckledraggers...

Ive always hated the letter based sizing system.

Hmmm, Is the inflation still 38/42 for the MH90-21 ME880 as per Metzler's "crtitical air pressure information" ?They suggest running tires close to the max inflatioin stamped on the sidewall (40 psi)

The best advice would probably come from the horse's mouth. You may wanna call Metzler's 1-800 # and find out the "right" info from them to be safe.
I just bought a 90/90-21 Metzler for mine and I will be using the 38/42 inflation pressures in mine but it was my understanding (I got the info second hand but the ol'lady's dad ain't no idiot) that the "new" Metzlers will be closer to HD's inflation recommendations.
I fully agree with cHarley when it comes to the "letter based" sizing system. IMO it sucks.

I do know about metz.. but in the Avon Venon's a 90/90 is about .5 inch wider than a MH90.
