150/80 16 will work on the rear of '04 and later. Click my link, then the tire tab for lots of info.

Very happy with the Avons so far.

I've had the Avon150 on my '04 RoadGlide for about 10K miles. No modifications to the rear and I've had no problems. I would assume the '04RK would be very similiar.

The Avons are wearing very well FWIW.
Enjoy,
Erik

Have 150mm on rear of '04 FLHTCI and no problems. Also went with Avon Venom-X.

I ran a set of Avons on my Road Glide for a while because I was impressed with the way they handled on a Dyna. They did handle great on the FLTR up to about 60mph. Once you hit 70mph or so, they felt a little "loose" on the heavier bike - hard to explain...not a wobble...kind of a sway.

If you do a lot of highway riding, you might want to think about a different tire. I still think the Avons are the best for a Dyna or Sporty.

do you think the 150 will fit on a 06 street glide
