Default no its not a 180 or 200
Quite a few guys have asked me if im running a 180 or 200 in the rear. Its actually a 160. Its a Dunlop K591. Harley switched over to Michelin a couple years ago and the Mich look smuch narrower. My buddy parked his 2012 street bob next to it and theres definitely a difference. Dont know why but if you guys are looking for a fatter look in the back make the switch to the Dunlop when you get sum new rubber. They grip Really good too.

I like the way you've set your bike up. Looks Great from this angle.

The K591 are wider size for size compares to other Dunlops as well. I checked them out for my stock 150 and they are a 1/4+ wider.

Chopped fender tends to make it look wider.

Hold up now! You are totally contradicting yourself.....don't you have a thread about how you think Baggers with apes look silly???

On a positive note, in my opinion both you and Traveler have very nice bike!

I don't get all the Dunlop bashing either.I've run allot of different tires on various bikes and Dunlop touring and sport touring tires rock.I'd be curious to see how the K591 holds up compared to the GT 501
