Default Any older Dyna riders out there?

Just bought a 97 Dyna and need a new rear tire. I want to go as wide as possible without mods. Any suggestions?

I didn't know if you meant old riders or old Dynas. I am both.

I am sorry I can't help with your question as I have also just bought a 97 Dyna convertible.

Good luck.

I believe the rear tire on my 2000 Low Rider is a 130. I did ask about this one time at the Stealership and the counterguy told me maybe a 140. The difference will be minimal. If you're looking to go big tire, of course there's ways but you're talking big $$$. Indian Larry went old school skinny tire and how cool was he? Just my .02...good luck.

The main problem is your belt.It will rub on wide tires and the width of your rear fender will also limit you.Check to see how much clear space you have.If you have 1/2" at the tightest point you can go one size bigger.
