I wouldn't go over 200. I am thinking about getting a FatBoy (still up in the air)... but I never leave anything stock... I'll be doing on the cheap though. really cant aford a kit. so really I was wondering what others had done to widen there stock bikes.

On the older fat boys a 150 is about as wide as you can go. The new ones come stock with a 200 out back...

You can run a rear on the front no problem, just reverse the direction of the tire...
