Yes, I checked the vault etc.
For those of your running the Metzler 880 fornt tires- What size are you running? I've seen both 100/90 and the 120/90 mentioned when I searched. Which is correct?

The 120/90 need mods for fender clearance to fit.
100/90 or 110/80 is the stock size.
If you want to run a fat front, a 130/70 will fit with no
fender mods.

OEM 2002 Bonneville America:
Bridgestone
L303 3.5 S18 Mag Mopus (110/80-18)
170/80-15 Exedra G546
The ME 880 commonly used is the 100/90-18*
*A 100/90 is the same as 100mm x 90%= 90mm sidewall height,
while the 110/80 is 88mm in height,
so only 2mm height difference. foot note contributed by Fishercat

you also might consider the bridgestone spitfires. Tmax chy Fasteddy Longmtnman and I among others are running em. Way cheaper than metz or avons too. With close to 4k on em eyes likes em. fine tires. I'll be able to better talk about the tread life as I get ready to roll to NH. Should be adding 4.5k or so miles to em.
