nightsters with wide rear tire
I've got an 09 nightster and although I've heard some talk about wider rear tires on nightsters I haven't seen any pix of one yet.

I can only view the top pic (as a thumbnail). Can you attach the bottom one as a thumbnail as well so I can see it better? Thanks.

I like the look of wide tires on anything, but to be honest, on the nightster it looks a little weird. If it had a longer rake in the front, it might look better. Must also be a b*tch to turn in the twisties. Just my .02

Those are really kick *** pix, thanks Vennum their much appreciated. Do any of you guys know what the widest tire that fits the nightster without kits or mods is, someone mentioned a 180 mm would fit but I think it would be to tight a squeeze.

It also looks like in changing the rear tire they also changed from belt drive to chain.
