Pirelli site says for a 2004 Road King you should use Night Dragons in these sizes;

72H MT90B16 M/C TL Front
77H MU85B16 M/C TL Rear

What type of Pirelli is the one you got?

I love my Night Dragons. I've used Metzlers, Avons and Dunlops and the Pirellis work WAY better for me. The ride is great and the handling is superb.
