For your bike the front would be MT90B16 and for the rear MU90B16 the rear tire is just slightly wider and taller than you stock tire . It will fit fine.
Dennis Kirk is showing the rear as a MT not MU? says load range C. should I be worried about getting the MT for the rear instead of MU.?

If you always ride solo and are not very heavy an MT will do, however if like me you ride 2-up loaded to the gunnels and close to your bike's gross weight limit, then stay with the MU and it's higher load rating.

Dennis Kirk is wrong! Older bikes like my 1990 used an MT rear and it will certainly fit, however your bike came stock with an MU. Your owners/service manual will confirm. The tyre on your bike will as well!

I was referring to the new Metz 888 that is replacing the 880's. The 888's are not avail in WW yet.
