Any ideas, I contemplating doing a custom Road King w/180 front tire and 240 or 250 rear tire.....help me with the good and bad and front end ideas!

 

As far as good i can tell you this, at a shop i go to visit quite a bit had a bike there one day that was a wide glide and they had put a 180 on it front and rear. This is what the customer requested. They said it actually handled great. Probably better than when stock.

 

Some time ago, on ebay, I saw a rk that had a 300 front and rear tire. It was big and massive. I loved it. Doubt it was good in the handling department, but man, I would have bought it.

 

That would loook SWEEEEEEEEET!!!! ExileCyclesputs 200's in fron all the time!I talked to a guy that had one and he said it is all aboutjust getting used to it.

 

IMHO, what sold me on the HD touring bikes was their great handling. If you're going fora true custom look, then it may be worth the sacrifice; however I think this mod would result in a significant degradation in handling. I'd be afraid to go much higher than a 150 or 160 if I wanted to retain the handling characteristics. Just my $0.02.

 

Thanks, just a look i am after, and i appreciate all the help..........i may just be crazy???????

 

theres a guy over on the yamaha rs warrior forum who did a 200mm front and a 240 (or 250) rear.

i dont like the fat fronts.

 

Is it the look or the performance????

 

I have ridden some exile built bikes with the 200mm tire...and they ride damn good, we are have an Electra glide project we are starting pretty soon and going with a 300 tire on the rear......

 

Heavydate,
I was thinking of a 200/200mm. Check with these guys for the trees and axles.
