Running Metzler 880 wide whites on my RK. Seem to be doing OK other than a bit noisey. They whine when leaned over and require a higher pressure than stock. Gonna try Avons next.

I have these on my Road King. The Conti. web site changed, I think you can get sidewall options.

Continental:http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/continental/motorcycle/themes/motorcycletires/cruiser/tk16_17/tk16_17_en.html

Front 130/90-16 M/C 73 HTL TK16
Rear 130/90-16 M/C 73 HTL TK17
Start at about 30 PSI for both and run 18 PSI in rear shocks.

Handling and ride is super, no milage life yet. The Conti. Forces I have on my Guzzi are at 8K miles. Looks like they are 1/2 to 2/3 gone at 8K.
