I put a Metzler ME880 on the rear of my streetglide.160 x 80 x 16. Fits fine and Indy told me he puts them on all the time.
Also said it wasn't nec to change out front tire because of brand. Have couple hundred on it and so far no problem., had it uo to 80mph, ran it in the rain today,no problem.
looks cool with the extra width. i'm realy happy with it.

mu85 and mu90 are the same width tire 140mm, the difference is the profile or height of the sidewall.
I am running the mu90 dunlop elite 3 on my 05 ultra with no problems.
