Default 1975 fxe

Hello all,
I'm a new member to the forum.
I own a 1975 Super glide FXE and it's time to replace the rear tire.
I know that the original size was 5.10-16R.
Is the Dunlop(D401) 130/90 B16 73H will be the best tire to go with?
The bike is all original.
Thanks.

I like the looks of the Avon Speedmaster on older bikes.Check out p/n AM7 5.00-16TT69S.Or the Dunlops would work,also.

Zohar, welcome to HDF from the UK. My first Harley was a new 1974 FX!

You have the right size of tyre. As for brand, there are several alternatives available. I prefer Avon Venoms for my current bikes, and have used mostly Avons since that first Harley. It came on Goodyears when new, of which the least said the better!
