Cutting the fender struts isn`t required.

He can't remember where he put the pictures of the bike that he can't remember what size tire they put on using the kit that he can't remember where they got it from....but he DOES remember they moved the tire forward and that cured everything.

Isay that 160 is your max so you could have proper space adjustment. Oh and by the way chopperhead2,

sure seems to be alot of "know it all" people around here.I was told this was a great site but the way things are going in my first 24hrs, I`d say it`s not much different than any other site so far. I don`t care if you guys don`t believe me because I got nothing to prove to anyone. I`m not the one up on my high horse so I`m cool. IfI come across some pics of the kit we used I`ll post them for all of you.

here is another thing I found fromthe DM customs site. It clearly says they wanted to build a kit that doesn`trequire frame cuttingbut allows a 180 tire.
DM Customs specializes in the manufacturing and sales of wide tire kits for Softails, Dyna’s and Road King models for Harley Davidson motorcycles, with sales worldwide.
We wanted to develop a kit that would be something affordable to radically change it’s apprearance like nothing else available in the market, and that did not require modifing a stock Harley Davidson motorcycles using the stock swingarm, with no cutting or frame modifactions required.
DM Customs kits allows the use of a 180 size tire mounted on a 18” x 5.5” wheel with a wider fender giving our customers the hottest style being seen on the streets these days

RE: wider tire for nighttrain
My question is that if you cut the horns, swap the pully, and get a new fender and rim/tire, what rim should you get? I have a 2004 FXST, Would I get a wheel with the hub for my year, or would I have to get one for a 2006-2007 to match with the pully? Also, where can I find an 18x5.5" wheel, everyone I see is for 91-99, for 2000 and later they're all 18x8.5". Thanx for all the help.
