It won't fit your rim correctly. It needs a 6.0" rim and stock one is 4.5" wide. you could lace a 6.0" rim to your hub. The tire should fit in your swing arm. There are bikes on this Forum running 200mm tires.

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think it will fit with the factory swingarm on 2006 bikes. Needs to be a 2010 and later.

A 200 mm rear WILL fit on 2007 and newer Wideglides and Fatbobs. Not sure about the 2006. Check the Heartland USA website. The 200 rear kit does NOT require a new swing arm.

It will fit in a 2006 swing arm
Minimum of 5.5" rim width is needed
Some wiring for your rear turn sigs may have to be tidied up so tire clears it
Some work with spacers may be needed
