What size of tire is it, I find it very hard to beleive there is no z
rated tire for it.

A Sportster uses a 130/90/16 on the rear and a 100/90/19 on the front.
There is a bit of room to go wider, but only to a 140 or with some
work a 150 on the rear.  I can only find 160s.  On the front I have
yet to find a Z rated 19" tire.

Remember we're dealing with Harley Davidsons here.  Certainly not
known for their blinding speed!
