If you have a cyclegear store near you, they stock those tires for about the same price as you'll find online. And if you buy from them they will mount and balance the tires for like 20 bucks each (that is if you take the wheels off the bike).
If you are going to try the E3s use the 160/80/16 for the rear. It fits without modification and looks cool.
Are you die hard on getting the Dunlap? The reason I ask, you should check out the Metzler tires. I have gone through 2 sets in 40k miles on my Roadking and they are absolutely great tires. I have a Dyna Low Rider also and I can't wait to put a set of Metzlers on it too(It only has 4,500 miles). There is no comparison between the 2 tires. The Metzler will out perform the Dunlop anyday. Just my $.02, but take the time to check.

I saw that Dunlop recommends a 3.5" wide wheel for the 160/80/16 tire and am assuming that HD's wheel is a 3.00 wide wheel. This does not cause a problem?
