We have great deals on Heartland kits and wheel packages so shoot me a pm if your interested on some prices. Here are a couple pics of a fatboy that we did a few years back with the two-five-o kit and our Lemans wheels. The 250 tire still rode pretty well in the turns and in our experience is a better riding tire size than a 300.

dont do it!! the 300 has had it's day, all the cool bike on here runnin 160 to 200,maybe some 250's, doesnt compromise your riding either,when you do a bike i think it should be done so bike can easily be put back to stock,coz fads are always changin

Default kit

If you are going to spend the money on a kit, go all out. I chose to buy a 300 kit for my 99 fatboy. Went from belt to chain driven. It may be a little more difficult to corner, but that is because you have more tire on the road! Will upload pics when all the work is done.

Just my $.02, but id spend the money elsewhere. A 200 tire is already the upper limits in what looks good proportional to the bike. Some people still dig having the rear tire stand out from the bike. I prefer a bike that flows from front to back. Fads come and go, and I think the ultra fat tire look has come and went. Just my opinion......

Cool

If your going to go with the 300, then I'd go with the Baker RSD 300 kit. It includes everything you need, including a new transmission. It's spendy, but it eliminates having to offset your engine.

As for whether or not the 300 is in or out these days.... Who cares. If your going to let the "current fad" dictate what direction to take you.... then you might as well sell your bike and get a Prius.

Well said....LMAO. IMO I would only go to a 250, I've riden both a 250 & 300 and if riding it every day a 250 max, but if riding it every now and then 300 baby I love the look of a FAT tire

Agreed, well said!

I too have ridden plenty of bikes with 300's. Definitely was not as good handling as mine with a 240 but like was said before nothing makes up for a Fatboy getting Fatter!
