New rear tire, stick with Harley or look else where?
It's that time to change the rear tire on my 2007 Street Bob, I've been putting it off for sometime now. I got a quote from the local Harley shop at about $400. I haven't contacted any other shops yet but I was curious to see how many owner stick to Harley tires from Harley dealers or go to other non Harley repair shops.
Also I would to move up to a 180 rear tire, Are there any modifications needed for the jump in size?
Thanks in advance

Streetbrad,
The SE 180 from HD and the Pirelli Night dragon are the only options at this point if I am not mistaken. Also the SE 180 from HD is actually wider than the pirelli from others reports.
I personally have the SE 180 and am extremely satisfied with it, performance and it's look. Not really a mod but, Your dealer will want to add a wire tucking kit to the inside of your rear fender. I think it is a good idea to have it, others find it not necessary. I believe they tuck the wires away with another method, perhaps zip ties, not really sure. Others will chime in regarding this I am sure. I decided to have it installed for peace of mind.
Good luck,
Cheers,
Tom
