Help set this matter stright
OK depending on who you read and who you ask I get a different answer. Even called 2 dealers and got 2 different answers.
Is a MU85B16 77H Harley dunlops the same as a 140 or 150 ? I got 2 new wheels and tires for my 2000 RKC 300.00 for all of it
and the rear has a MU85B16 on it? I want to get rid of those damn lace wheels I hate to clean them, can't plug a inner tube.
1 Dealer said it would work but I had to get a wheel install/upgrade kit that was 70.00 for everything including the new bearings and a spacer.
Dealer 2 said it would not fit?
People on forum say it matches a 140 the other half say it matchs a 150............. Some help yall. thanks in advance.

Well, since no one has chimed in yet, I think the best thing to do is take some measurements. Measure the tire you have, measure the swing-arm opening, then maybe even go to the bike shop and measure the 140 and 150 tire.
Sorry ... I know thats not much help. Just a suggestion.

90=130
85=140
80=150
slight variations in exact measurments between manufactures. (ie dunlop 150 might be 5.50 where a 150 avon might be 5.35. just made these numbers up so you get the idea. refer to the manufacture for exact measurments. steve
