How Wide
Hi There. New to this site. I have a 96 FXDL. Sweek bike. Bought it off my father in law 2 months ago. Only 550 miles! Bike is like brand new. My Question is when I change the rear tire what is the widest I can go w/out any changes. I've heard 150,160. I dont want to go with a kit as I do not want to de-value the bike. As you can see its in mint shape. I've changed out the seat and added some chrome. I am going from the V & H 2-1 to the big radius this week but that shoud do it!

Customise to your hearts content, the only thing that devalues a Harley is not looking after it or totalling it, LOL

RE: How Wide
The EVOs come out with 130mm rear standard (sorry about the metric measurements, not sure what it is in your language 
) The widest you can go without any mods is 140mm. Cheapest way to go wider is to put a chain on it.

RE: How Wide
All passenger car tires and most truck tires in the US are measured using the P-metric system. About 90% of off road truck tires are measured in inches from 27" up to 49" for DOT-approved tires. Not sure if there are any stragglers left in motorcycle tires. All that I see are also P-metric.
So, we do know what yer talking about.
