Default Wide Tire

Anyone had the 180mm rear tire conversion done on a pre 2006 model. I was told HD hasn't determined yet whether the conversion kit will work on models prior to this year.

Default RE: Wide Tire

The dealer where I am trying to buy a bike has the kit already done on the 06's along with the stage 1 for a price of $1000. I found the kit online for like $240 shipped for the wide tire kit through harley but wondered if the kit was nessary.

That price is about right and the kit is definitely necessary. The 180 looks good.

I dont think the rear fender will clear on my 2000 on the width of a 180. i would think with a little work and a different back fender it could be done easily.

The biggest issue is that the '06 comes with a 17 inch wheel, so I would have to add the cost of a new 3 spoke mag to the equation.
