wide tire kit for 73 fx low rider
I was wondering if any one makes a wide tire kit for a 73 shovelhead low rider. If there isn't I wonder if I can make /modify mine.Any thoughts on this. Trial and failure reports are welcome seen it done have it doneetc.

I've never heard of a kit, but my father in law tried a 150 on the stock set up and it rubbed the fender and rear chain on a hard right turn. maybe a 140 would work, but personally I like the stock 130

I use a 140 with a 150 look and that works great.
If you want to go wider you need to go with a special kit. This is very expensive and I would suggest buying a different frame then.You would not believe what they ask for a set like that.

A vompany called big boar products makes one for shovels for a 200 tire about 1300 or 1400.
biggoarproducts.com is where to look. it is a lot of work but comes with good instructions if you have tore down a bike to the fram it is not that hard to understand. I put one on a 81 shovel for a customer and it worked out fine.
Good Luck
