Hi All ,

I enquired at my Local HD stealer as to how much it would cost for a wide tyre conversion on my new bob , £384.00 pound was the answer , apparently you can fit a 180 tyre to the same rim giving some 20mm more width to the tyre with no other modifications.
I recently replaced the rear tyre on my CBR600 Rice Burner for £117 and straight away thought are my dealers taking the Pi$$ here or is there more to the job than they are letting on.
Any body have any ideas ? Is it as simple as just fitting a Wider tyre or is there more to it ?

Just buy the tire. I just had one installed and didn't use the kit.

 

i also put one on without the kit.

 

You got any pics guys plz ?

No kit also, just buy the tire and your good to go. You do have to make sure that your turn signal wires are all tucked in nice and tight.

 

Buy the tire, skip the kit. The only thing you need to do is check the clearance between the tire and the hardware for the fender trim. I have quick detach hardware for my removable rack and sissy bar. I tossed the original bolts that came w/ the detachable kit and used 'elevator bolts' (a type of thin, flat-sided carriage bolt).


If your hardware is stock, it should clear. You will really enjoy the bigger tire -completly fills the fender well and looks mean!

 

No kit needed,.....just buy the tire.
