Sure will with no problem. I just put one on for a guy who wanted to lower the Valkyrie a little. That's what size that goes on the Goldwing.

It will fit but raise your RPMs per given MPH.

Will raise RPM. I wanted a shorter tire for my stubby legs but I can notice it. Its only a few mm lower.

That tire will lower the bike around 3/8".  180/70/16 to 180/60/16

Enough where you ought to be able to feel the difference.

Just barely!

Get yourself some suitable boots and you'll be fine!
