Not sure about the front, but the 06 Touring Bikes came with a MU85. Thats a 140. I,m not sure you can go larger unless you want to trim your belt guard.

I went the 130 front and 140 rear,lops E3,s. Great tires,not sure you can go larger on rear.I've heard you can go 150 on rear,but not sure.A lot of work to try and not clear the belt.

I went with the Avon Venoms. Stock in the front and 150 in the rear and i have a 2007 Roadking Custom. You will really appreciate the ride with Avons they give the bike a totally different personality. IMHO.
