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.

 

just put it on the bike DONE

 

Why not just check Dunlop's website for the tire specs? If you do, you'll find the tire width is 5.51" and converted to mm it's 139.9 mm--so call it 140.

Somtimes the easy way eludes us lol I spend a few hours checking the forum Thanks

 

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
