Wide rear tire on Street Bob - need help with part numbers please!

Hi folks,

I'm getting my Indy to install a 180/60/17 rear tire (Pirelli Night Dragon probably) on my late model street bob, but he wont do it unless I tuck the wiring away nicely and use slimmer fender strut bolts that don't stick out so far as the stock ones that may rub on the tire.

Harley sells these specific parts as part of their "wide tire kit" but I don't want to buy the whole kit with the GT-502 tire...

Does anyone know the separate part numbers for just the 2 plastic wiring protector thingies and the 2 different bolts that give you more room inside the fender to run a 180mm tire??

Thanks for any help with specific part #'s.

Get a new Indy. A 200 fits back there so should be no problem for 180. Just do the work yourself, pull wheel off and just have them swap tire, then you reinstall the wheel.

See if this helps.

I don't think this link takes you to the page it says, I think it will just take you to Ronnie's home page.

So, find your bike (year, model), then go to "Fender, Rear" for a part's breakdown with part numbers.

The plastic things that hold the wires is (#72573-10) according to Ronnie's on that page.

I know personally of one guy that installed a 180 tire and rubbed up his wiring inside the fender.... I'm not taking any chances.

I just have one more question.

I had a look at the inside of my '15 street bob rear fender and it feels like it already has some fender inner side plates/brackets protecting and concealing the wires..... Is the one from the "wide tire kit". # 59514-06 different to the stock ones I already have?

In other words, do the later model street bobs already come with the inner fender wiring brackets that I need to conceal and keep the turn signal wires flat against the inner side of the fender?

Thanks again.
