RE: 180 wide tire kit issue solved
The way I like to hang a lot of curves . If it would fit under my bike don't think I would go with a tire bigger than a 200.
I want a very ridable bike. With a tire in the 300 range it wouldn't be as ridable.

What about the rim of the Dunlop of HD kit? 5.5 or 4.5?
If I put the HD kit I use a 180/60 R17, also because I must have signed the different size in my cyrcolationcard in Italy from HD , what Avon could I put for the next tyre?

I am not sure what you are asking dav.elis. The rim used in the HD kit for this swap is your stock rim. It is a 4.5 incher. If you scroll up I think you will see a few solutions presented on both an Avon and a Metzler option from other members and bosken... that is one FATA$$ ride there.. absolutely sick lookin.. I love it... wish I could afford it.

Well this is great information guys, thanks! I was looking to just purchase the SE Wide Tire kit out of the HD catalog over the winter, but it seems I can save some money to put elsewhere by just purchasing the tire.

Just as a mater of information.
I run a 200 Metz on the back of my 07 FXD.
I also use a custom wheel that is 6" wide x 18"
No problems and the look is sweet.

The link seems to be all honda. What did you have to modify or change to run a 6x18?

Nice to hear, but how much clearance is there left between the tire side edge and the belt?
I planto mount a 190/50 17tire.. (200 doesn´t work I read). Could that work?
