wide tire kit
#5
Fat Baggers Inc. (FBI) makes a few kits. I installed the 200mm tire kit on my bike. A lot of work involved because the stock H-D frame will only allow about 140mm or 150mm tire. Ya need room for the belt drive and swing arm clearance. The FBI kit uses a couple of 1/2" spacers between the primary and the engine and tranny. The tranny mainshaft needs to be replaced with a longer one. The Compensator nut needs to be replaced. The swing arm is swapped out with a wider one and ya have to grind some of the tabs off the frame to clear the wider tire and stock belt. You will also have to grind down part of the rear brake caliper to clear the inner surface of the wider rear wheel. Other than that, its pretty much a bolt in kit. 8-)
The picture below was taken when I had to repair the exhaust support bracket on the left side due to a vibration break.
