I have a 2006 H-D Softail Standard (EFI) with the 200 Rear tire and solid rim (factory I think).


I want to switch to a narrower rim / tire. What all is needed? I have the skinny belt. Is there a specific spacer kit to use with the narrower rim? Factory or aftermarket available? Recommendations please.

 

A few people with spoke rims have kept everything stock. Stock hub, stock brake, even stock spokes just laced to a rim that is not as wide. Having a solid rim that you do, I'm afraid this post will not help you sorry. Just thought I would throw it out there. If you did go spoke, a stock xbones hub is easily laced down.

 

Why not just trade down a year ? I have a 2005 with the thin rear tire . I regretted not waiting a year for the wider tire and rear . Strange how things work out eh ?
Maybe look into trading the whole softail from the engine/trans back...good luck...
