Default How wide can I go...

Hey guys..

I have a 2001 Nightrain which has a 130 Tire in the rear...or so I think....

I want to go with widest possible tire without having to change my swingarm etc...I am even willing to buy another set of wheels, I have been looking on hogpro and there are some there that I would really like...

I heard I could bump up to a 160 without too many headaches, what's your opinions or verdicts on this...

Lenny

I have a Metzler chart that tells you what fits and what you need to do to go to stage 1 2 or 3. I can email it to you if you like.

The Metzler chart tells you what mods will be needed for over sized tires.

I have a 150 metzler on my 00FXST, the only mod I had to do was mill the brake caliper & install a larger spacer on the left side. I have heard of some one installing a 160 but there was issues with the rear fender struts hitting , they had to be adjusted.
