Will a 2007 Road King Accept a 180mm Rear Tire, Like the 2009's Have?
I know that the 2009's have a 180mm rear tire, but I think the 2007 models only came with a 140mm.

I prefer the look of the wider 180mm rear tire, as found on the 2009/2010's.

Too bad. I have an opportunity to score a nice 2007 RKC, the only thing holding me back is the smaller rear tire.

I would not let that hold me back if it were a good deal. you can get a 160 on it that looks good. If you go with after market wheels you can put a 4.25" wheel on it that makes everthing look bigger and better.

So, is it just a question of a new rim/tire/fender, or is there more to it to make it happen?
Thanks

You don't have to change all that if you go with just the 4.25" wheel and a 160mm tire. They make 200mm kits that you can buy but they are Big $$$.
