Default 100/90-19 replacement tire? HELP!

On a XL 883 ('06), could I fit a 110/90-19 on the same rim with enough clearance with stock set-up?
(I am thinking Metzler 110/90-19 to replace the Dunlop HD 100/90-19.)

Not unless you want to run without the fender. The 110 Metz is roughly 1/3" (.32") wider than the 100.

100/90 -19 TL 57H F 2.50 2.15-2.75 4.25 26.53 507 42 130 .25000 11.68
110/90 -19 TL 62H F 2.50 2.15-3.00 4.57 27.00 584 42 130 .18750 12.79

Default Good information!

Still, though I have not yet measured, seems like there is well over 1/4" clearance on either side...
BUT...the problem would be the connecting bolts I suppose?
Which tire do you use on your Sporty?
