Well its time to replace the rear as I'm getting ready for vacation and plan a trip over to the Dragon in 3 weeks so I'm gonna go ahead and replace the rear. The front still looks good.

I'm seeing some good deals on MT90-16 in WWW. 83'- 1100 with 140/90-16 is stock.
The MT90 is 5.00-5.10" wide and the stocks are 5.5"-6.0" wide. I seen the MU90 is a better replacement as per size but I haven't seen any in www

Any difference other than width in running?Any adverse effects in switching over to the MT90?

The MT is the equivalent of a 130/90 so it would be about 18mm smaller in diameter. It would increase your RPM to speed ratio slightly.
