I want to get a bigger back tire on my bike at least a 180, what all kits do they make or any ways to go about doing this? I am going to get new wheels also when I do this.

 

HD has a tire swap kit.

 

If your going big ya better buy a new tranny to! Lol

 

start searching there is heaps of info here, i've typed details of my mod, as have others so many times.,
search for "200" or "180" just keep looking.

a 180 is just a straight tire swap. to go to a 200, you will need to do a bit of work but not much.

 

2002 so there is a bit more too it, i think you could get a 160 in there just without too many mods but there would be some sort of kit for 180 or 200.

 

ah **** sorry didn't take enough notice to see it was a 2002... my bad

 

Yeah, I saw a couple of kits but wasn't sure what I needed to do I would like to have a 200-240 on it. No bigger, though with new wheels. I was just wanting to know if I could do a bigger tire with out a kit. I got alot of things I want to do to it so i'm not real sure where I want to start haha.

 

Would you need a tranny kit for a 2004 super glide

 

My tires are soon needing to be replaced. I was eyeballing the HD 180 kit (which includes the rear tire), but are there any real performance advantages in a larger tire (other than the "aggressive" look, as HD puts it)...better handling/traction on the road, maybe?
I'm assuming no other mods (like to the tranny) are necessary for such a slight change (slight as in a 180mm tire, that is).
Are there any good reasons not to swap out for a larger tire?

 

I'm guessing the newer model bikes can hold a 180 tire without changing really anything then.
