RE: Wide tire kit
to fit the 200 tire on a street bob you need to get a 5.5 or 6.5 rim depending on what tire you get. only seen them on 18 inch rear rims also. but it will fit. check the hog pro website as they have a pic of a 200 on a streetbob.

don't need the kit. you can go as big as 200 rear tire with no kit. just be sure wiring is secure in clips

You are not gonna get a 200 tire on a stock 06 Dyna.
To put a 200 on you have to as said by another get a rim that is at least 5.5. You will need a new pulley because you will have to go to a 20mm drive belt to get the tire clearance. Stock belt is 30mm I believe, at least my Dyna is.
That 200 kit at hog pro is over $1400. It includes the items mentioned above.
The wide tire kit is nothing but low profile fender braces, a few tyraps and the 180 tire. My Dyna already had the braces on that are in the kit.
You chunk enough money at something, well.

RE: Wide tire kit
Um, couple of dumb questions...If you can buy the 180 tire (180/60/17...?) and straight mount it, right on your stock rim, what is the point of the "wide tire kit?" What doesthe kitcome with? What does it do? Is it a different rim?
Say a feller hypothetically didn't care much for the Dunlops...what would stop said-feller from buying a same size tire from an aftermarket manufacturer, bypassing the dealer altogether? Anyone know of any other companies that make the same size tire?
Okay, sorry. That was more than a couple of dumb questions.

So it really is just a "Wide Tire Kit," no new rim or anything? And what do they charge for this crap, knowing full-well you can just buy a wider tire and mount it right up?

RE: Wide tire kit
maybe dumb question-can youeven lean enough touse all of the 180(let alone a 200) without grinding the foot pegs? Besides, I can think of alot of other parts and mods I could really use for the price of the HD wide tire kit hardware.
