You might also consider that the stock 8" rim is not considered wide enough to run a 280 tire. If I sell a wheel with a 280 on it is an 18x10. Do what you like, just a thought on what is recommended by tire and wheel manufacturers.

Dyna Beads work great. That was one of the first things I did on this bike. It seems like I had about 100 wheel weights beetween front and rear.

Thanks for the input all
I'd like to at least go to a 260, just wanna be sure she'll fit, this rim set is made to order so I have about 6 weeks or more to find out for sure if the 260 will fit my 2014 breakout nicely.
Anyone running a 260 rear on a 2014 breakout?
Is there an alternative to the rediculously expensive harley daymaker head light?
Thanks again

I just don't see anyone getting much more than a 250 under there.. But 24v, that 250 sure does fill it out nicely.
