Default Dyna's With A Fat Front Tire

I recently put a 16" fat tire on my 2003 FXDX. I like the look and feel of it, I'll post some pictures later on since my bike is a work in progress.

But I was wondering if other Dyna owners have done the same thing to their bikes. Would love to see pictures!

Still building it, but yeah, I put a 150/80-17 on my 99 DWG.

Very nice! I was looking at your thread when you first bought this Wide Glide. I was blown away by what you've done on it.

Here is my bike, I want to keep it close to stock. I'm not too fond of the handle bars since I will switch them out for mini apes.. I've been thinking about lowering both the front and back a couple of inches since I feel like the front tire seems to be far out. But I think with smaller handle bars it will start to look better.


2003 FXDX Superglide Sport with 2003 FXDWG triple tree and forks to have a 16" fat front tire.

Thanks.

Customized FLH hub, Buchanan stainless spoke set, Excel aluminum rim 17x4.5, custom spacers...

Fat Bob forks, Wide Glide trees.

This was several months ago, before I did the brakes, controls, air cleaner, etc. Still have a way to go. It looks like a wreck right now...no tank, no seat, no battery, wiring harness everywhere...
