Default 200mm Tire
The are more problems than Joe(JRK5892) mentioned. The fender will hold a 200mm tire. The problems are with the wiring, the pulley, the wheel spacers and maybe the brake caliper(depends on what kind of wheel you run on the back).I just got through putting a 190mm on mine and it was a royal PITA. Just got all the bugs worked out from the install and I has taken me months. There was a German guy (yellowjam) who posted a thread about putting a 200 on his Street Bob. He made it sound easy...it isn't. Do a search for his thread. It included dual front brake discs. Good luck.

Wow very nice photography. Your pictures are more than worthy of a Harley Ad.
