Hello everyone, I recently purchased a 1999 Sportster 1200xl and would like to swap out the stock tire and spoke rim for something a little wider, blacked out spoke rim between 60-80 spokes and paired with fatter tire (perhaps a white wall). Anyone can provide some good used options or inexpensive new options that would be very helpful. I am a newby but thought this would be a good project for the winter. Below is a pic of the bike as it currently sits. If anyone wants to recommend some other modifications please feel free. Will most like swap out the air filter as well as part of the initial modifications. Thanks again for your suggestions.

 

1999 was furnished with MoCo 130 x16 tire size.
2003 was the last year for the 130 x 16 tire size.
2004 was the first production year for the 150 x 16 tire size
Both tire sizes fit to a 3" wide rim.
Simple project to go from 130 x 16 to 150 x 16 tire size
If electing a 180 x 16 wide tire size, 5" wide rim is required along with longer center hub.
Also a wider swing arm is required for the 180 x 16 tire size, compared the OEM swing arm.
