ok here it goes i searched this site, and the internet, not really finding what im looking for. my fatboy is a 96, with the stock mt90b16 tire on the stock rear solid wheel. the tire is shot i need a new one, i would like to go wider if i can without modifying everything. From what i have read it seems a 130 is stock? it will fit just fine, a 150 is a tight squeeze, and then there is differnces in width per manudfacturer, im getting frustrated, anybody put a wider tire on an older fatboy? pics with sizes? how about a 140/90B16, Thanks in advance.

 

Well, I have a 98 Fatboy and run the 130. If 140 is all you can go why bother. Even 150 isn't much of a change. Run the 130 and fogeettttaaaboutit... If you want wide, buy the aftermarket kits. They are really expensive and really mod the bike so make sure its what you want.

 

I had a 150 dunlop on my 97 and it rubbed sometimes riding double. I got a 140 metzler im putting on next week. Hopefully that will fit better.

 

Spend the money and upgrade to the 200! It's so nice!

 

You can get a 150 on there but it is very likely to rub with 2 up riding. IMO opinion it also kills the handling because the tire is too wide for the rim. Buy a kit or don't waste your time.

 

thanks for the responses, i have a 200 on my chopper, and i have a wide tire kit that fits the fatboy, i didnt want to put it on, i thought if i had to buy a new tire i might as well go bigger since the original looks small. but as it turns out my buddy had a fresh takeoff for free, same size so im puttin it on now....

 

just slip a newer FB with the 200 tire in Ur garage and U'll be happy...

 

I am running the Dunlop Elite 3 MU90b16 (140 width) on my 2000. It has a harder compound in the center of the tire and more usable tread wear depth per the Dunlop rep. Ride is great and I just replaced the rear at 17,000 miles.
