MT90B16 for rear?
Hey guys,
Few of my friends and I had some Elite 3s
put on this weekend BUT
the dude put MT90B16 on the rear!
Is this ok? Is it safe?
I thought the MU was for rear...
I know the MU is wider from reading
these forums but is the MT ok for the rear?
Thanks guys
pete

The MU has a higher load rating and is a better choice for a bagger especially for riding 2 up.

Depends on the year, up until 04 or 05 all the baggers used MT90's then they used MU85's until 08. An MT90 is a 130 an MU85 is a 140 either will work just fine on everything up tp an Ultra runnin g 2up.
