Default 200 on Wide glide?
I am looking at some new wheels. If I go with a wider wheel with I be able to run a 200 without any other modifications?

What will a wider tire do the handling?

a 200 wont dramatically affect handling... but in general the fatter the tire the more force it takes to lean the bike over in the curves....

I've installed RS 18" wheel with 200 tyre on my WG. You will need 1/2 inch spacer between the wheel hub and the drive pulley to offset the belt.

Not so sure a 200 will go into a 5 speed bike without spacing the primary. I got a 180 to fit but it seemed much more pulley offset would dig into the inner primary...let alone another 3/8"...
