I just did some custom work on a 2014 and one of the requirements was to add a CT to the rear (it's a trike - pre flaming)

I asked around and nobody knew if the standard GL18 rear 16" rim would fit OK. Well I gambled as I always do and yes it is an exact fit clears the brake caliper and plenty of fender room. I used the tire I commonly use which is a Achilles 195x60x16.

Other things discovered is the auxiliary power plugin which is located under the rear of the fuel tank. Radiator filler which is in the front right cowling which only requires one to push in a couple of the push pins and remove the top bolt to open the joint and allow access to the filler

Now I have a bunch of parts which I cannot sell here. I guess eBay

You could have bought this tire off Amazon and  used the original wheel.  Economist 175-55-17.  It wider than the factory rubber and works great.
