I am inclined to think that it would work. Any pics of what the 130 looks like?

I just put that exact size tire on my '04 500 and it fits just fine. The turn in is effected slightly, but it's not too noticable, and it looks a lot better than the stock tire.

I have not seen the Kenda but Iam running a 150 70/17 EVO Dragon on my 500. I dont really notice any negative change in the way the bike handles but love the feel of the far lean into the curves I can get now.
