I put a 200 tire on my Softail
My bike was a Heritage when I bought it. This is what it has evolved into. What do you guys think?
the whole rear end was about $1,200. including paint. I lowered the rear fender giving it 3.75" of travel. (might lower suspension another inch.) Had a hell of a time getting seat to fit. Had to make frame extension under tank and trim pieces of the rubber tabs on seat bottom.
The rear fender was $90. from American Classic Motors. Cheap but had to put several hours work into it. (its hard to make a cheap fender perfect) but it looks ok.
I made the side mount plate by flipping my lay down plate upside down and fabricating a piece of aluminum angle then added LED lights.

R.I.P. BROTHER
Those cell phone pics are hard to look at...
Share the private stash bro.
From what I think I see you are gonna hafta lower it a tad to take full advantage of the fender wheel relationship....I think?
Like the look tho!
Now go take some good pictures in the light and stop being so selfish with the good stuff! LOL.
Maybe a good side shot so we can throw in our collective .02 cents on why it should be lowered!
