Why do people ask questions...then argue about the answers?

I was referring to Dunlop Elite 3's. They DO NOT come in those sizes. I specified that in the first post.

Excellent info. That's what I needed. Thank you.

ok...I just did a google search for Dunlop elite 3 130/90/16....gave me 2 dozen suppliers and showed a cross reference in size to MT90B16. Thats where I got my information that they DO come in that size.

Toolman, the info you wanted is in your owners handbook and also your service manual. Hopefully we have cleared that up now! My Glide came on MTs both ends, but if you would like the extra load capacity of an MU you may find you can fit one, in other words a 140/85. It is also a little wider although you may need to trim the belt guard to get decent clearance.
