Are there any differences in how a CT is mounted on a bike wheel verses a MT? Are there any 195/65-16 tires to choose from other than the Dunlop 5000 or Touranza?

No difference. A Honda dealer mounted mine, seated the bead at 34 PSI, and it fit just about perfect.
There may be more tires other than those, I didn't look too much once I read the reviews for the Dunlop 5000 on Tirerack.com

Regards,

Try this site mate. It should work if you're running mag wheels. Probably need a tube if running spokes or you could seal them. Be sure to get the radial tire. 175/75R/16. On second thought; I'm not sure if it will work on a Road King. Definitely works on the Softails of the same year. Check out this thread for more info.

This is the tire I'll be running when the rear tire wears out on the bike I'm riding.
