RE: WIDE TIRE KIT QUESTION
I'm with veniculum. I too have the 180 kit installed and the SE tire is great. I've got over 5K on the tire and no problems wet or dry. Try it out if you don't like it for some reason change it out.

RE: WIDE TIRE KIT QUESTION
A 200 eill go on a Wide Glide with no mods. (Bobtail fender). On all other models the rear turn signals must be removed to make room under the fender. We replace the rear light with a Kuryakin with built in turns.

Ya Don't Need The Kit
I have an 06 Low Rider.
The kit has the tire, 2 fender support bars and a few ty-raps.
The bars in the kit are the same as the ones that you use to relocate the turn signals. Or put on the saddle bags. I have two extra sets I'll give someone if they pay the postage.
The only thing ya have to do is cut the bolts off flush with the bars and make sure the TS wires are out of the way.
When I relocated my turn signals, the bars I pulled out looked the same as the ones I put back in.
I bought the 180 Dunlop and had the dealer put it in. He cut the bolts off and I have loved it ever since.

RE: WIDE TIRE KIT QUESTION
I have the 180 tire mounted on my Bike. I just ordered the tire from Zanottis and had an Indy put it on for me. No problems and it rides great.
Now If it would just stop raining.

RE: WIDE TIRE KIT QUESTION
I always wondered what this "wide tire" kit was to fit a 180. Mine came with a 180. I thought I was special, turns out I'm not and you don't need that dumb kit.
Think a 200 will fit if we move the turn signals up to behind the seat?
