SB 180 Pics
Does anyone have a 180 rear on their street bob? I went to get a new rear today for my 06 and the lady on the phone started some crap about how it wouldn't fit my rim, wouldn't bead, and would probably blow out blah blah. I get down there and ask the actual mechanic if they had one and stuff and he said they didn't have it in stock for a 17 inch rim but he thought it would fit but didn't think it would last long and would wear quickly...
So if anyone has one on their SB do you have pics and how many miles have you gotten out of it?

I've only had it for about 3K miles. Wear doesn't look too bad, but is is a softer performance tire and it does grip better so it should wear a little more. i put the kit on it to accomadate the wider tire but some say they just routed their wires different and it worked fine for them.

that's a 180/55 right? did you have to do anything to get it to fit? (Harley kit? re-route wires? whatever...)

Only the SE 180 and the Pirelli Night Dragon 180 will safely mount to the stock rim.
To use other 180's you will need a wider rim.
I get good wear out of tires but have over 13k on my SE 180 (pic is a older picture).

Yes it is. Besides lacing an 18 x 5.5 rim to my stock hub, I just made sure the wires were run so they didn't rub on the tire. No kit necessary.
