Front:
130/60-23 or 120/70-23

Rear:
180/55-18 or 200/50-18

whats everyones opinions on the tire sizes? I would love to put the 200 in the rear

Actually it will fit with no changes whatsoever, even with a narrower Super Glide fender it fits right in and doesn't rub anything. 200/55-18 on 6" rim.

That looks good!!!! Id do this and the 130 up front. Looks like the 200 avon is perfect. Be conscious of width differences between tire manufacturers as the 200 dunlop or metzeler may be too wide.

Not sure about the Metz but that Avon measures 190mm and leaves about a quarter inch clearance on either side of the fender and the same belt clearance.

Yeah I guess the wideglide has a slightly wider rear fender than the streetbob as the WG comes with a 180 stock. On the street bob there is clearance issues with the wiring under the fender, it will fit but may and often does rub those wires that's why I moved my rear sigs to a different location

Yes it fits, and they look great one of the best mods ive done the 200 but if your rear sig wiring is still run in it's stock path then the tire gets very close and does rub for alot of people. The 200 avons sure look good on the Dynas

I never had the wire issue as I had already moved mine for aesthetic reasons.

No offense but you replied to my post that "no changes are needed" but to most people they will have to at the very least tidy up their wiring,
you didn't coz you'd already moved yours but they need to know about that issue AND belt clearance can be an issue, it all depends what wheel they use, offsets can vary ...

Just tips that can help fellow riders
