Got everything squared away, loaded up the old lady and we went for a test ride today. Yes the 205/60/16 fits just fine. 3 oz of beads, 30 lbs of air in the tire, 50 lbs in air suspension, loaded all our ****, you cannot dream of a smoother ride. Handles like it is on rails. Checked speedo with both GPS and a radar gun (have friends in law enforcement) and it is dead nuts on

I did some more measuring on my 16RGU and the most I can get in there is a 185. If I go with a 195 it's rubbing on the belt and the brake support hardware.
What model do you have this on?

Those are some pics with the tire on. Sorry if that post is messed up. It was my first time of figuring out how to post pictures on here. To clarify any possible confusion, it is a 2015 Ultra Limited. The tightest clearance was the belt (which I believe is visible). All is working well and rides smooth as silk.

Interesting.
I picked up a 185/60R/16 Toyo and the belt clearance is about what you have there.
The belt stand off may be different between our bikes as my 2016 has a narrower primary cover so they may have slimmed down the tranny a bit too. I didn't hear anything about that as a feature and it would be a big deal due to the amount of new engineering to achieve that.
