I know some of the Vrod guys are fitting a Metz 280 on the same size rim. But its real close to the belt. just an FYI

Cool! Can't wait until my 240 wears out!  :bananarock:

You wont have to wait very long, Metzler have a very soft compound and wear out very quickly. I will never run with Metzler tyres again.

Thanks. Right now I'm running a Michelin Commander 240 rear. I got 6000 miles on the stock Dunlop and just installed the Commander recently. Thinking of going with a Dunlap Elite 250 when the Michelin wears down. I hear it's about the same width as the Metzler 260 when on the bike.

I ran a Metz 880 on my ultra in a 150/18. Let's just say I will never buy another! I'm now running the Michelin commander II. Oh boy what a better tire. With 2000 miles it still looks new and I ride like I'm being chased

I have the Michelin Commander ll on my ultra,  the best tire I ever used. Handles great and has 18k on it with plenty of meat left.
