OEM 2002 Bonneville America:
Bridgestone
L303 3.5 S18 Mag Mopus (110/80-18)
170/80-15 Exedra G546

Avon:
100/90-18 AM41 Venom - 32psi
170/80-15 AM42 Vemon - 36psi


Dunlop:
100/90-18 D404 - 31psi
170/80-15 D404 = 31psi

Metzler:
110/80-18 ME330 - 38psi (ME330 are no longer being made and have been replaced by the Lasertech)
170/80-15 ME880 - 40psi

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

Dunlop K177 120/90-18 Wide White Wall Front
Dunlop K555 170/80-15 Wide White Wall Rear

Note: Front sizes are taller than stock and require modification of the front fender for clearance.

Now being the owner of 3 bikes, and with the latest hassles I've had trying to get tires mounted at a reasonable price, I've decided maybe it's time to change my own.
I have now purchased a balancer from Aerostitch and a set of three tire irons from Motorcycle Superstore and with the help of this most informative article, I hope to soon be mounting and balancing my own tires.

I thought this might be helpful for those of you who are inclined to "roll your own" .. tires onto the wheels that is...
I would also recommend you get "Rim Savers" your life will be easyer...I tried the plastic over the rim method before
