Default dunlop elite 3 ?

I have a 2006 ultra the rear tire now is a 85/16. Looking at the elite 3 it looks like this size is not offered. Was wondering what size to go with. Thanks

If Dunlop makes an MU85B15 Elite 3, it isn't listed on Dunlop's website:

http://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com/tire...tire.asp?id=86

The Dunlop Elite 3 MU90B16 is within less than .1" the same width and height of the OEM Dunlop 402 MU85B16 with the Elite 3 being the larger.

I looked at drag, they only make drag and Dunlop. Looks like the 85 is for a 15inch wheel. So can I go with the 90 you think. Thanks

The MU90B-16 is almost exactly the same size as your stock MU85B-16 and fits perfectly.

I think the MU85-16 is a misprint, as this size doesn't show on Dunlop's site or anywhere else that sells E3's.

Just put a MU90HB-16 on the rear of my 07 Road King Custom. Perfect fit, perfect ride.

I also have an 06 Ultra and just had my tires mounted today. The size I got from jakewilson.com was front MT90B-16 for $109.99 and the rear is MU90B-16 for $126.99 and free shipping. I made the order on Sunday night and they were on my doorstep Wed. I only rode my bike 40 miles home and they were great. They did'nt follow the tar snakes like the 402s do. I will get lots of miles on them next month. Going to Sturgis via the Grand Canyon.
