Default what is the maximum tire size (width) that I can put pon my 2015 Wide Glide?

I feel the front tire on my bike is too thin. I would like to see if I can get something a little wider. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Michelin cammander 2. 90-90-21.it goes good with the rear scorcher. Much better than the stock 80-90-21

On a 21" x 2.15" wheel a 90/90 is about the maximum; to go to a 120/70-21 tire you'd need a 3" - 3.75" wheel.

90/90-21 Pirelli Night Dragon on my front wheel; it fills in the fender nicely and you will notice the improvement in front end stability

90-90-21 is as big as you can go on a stock rim I believe.

The same spec for the new tire was supposed to be 98mm or 3.90" but it actually measured 3.625" (3 5/8"). So instead of being nearly 3/4" wider than stock it was only about 3/8" wider. Still an improvement though.
