JPR - Better late than never eh! Sorry to took so long, weather has been ordinary and I've given up waiting for sunlight outside so i've gone with some indoor photos. I don't know how helpful this is going to be but it may serve to prove to your dealer it CAN be done, but it's pretty tight. FYI - I've just ticked over 1500kms and no rubbing or clearance issues.

3. Shows the LHS lower belt guard clearance



4. Shows the RHS swingarm clearance

DeanO - yes your correct they're Evil 7s - looks like i'll no longer have the only set in Oz. Real keen to see them fitted on a fatboy - let me know once you've got it done will you?

Front is the same size as the stock rim - 2.15" x 21" & the rear is an 18" x 5.5". I looked long and hard at the PM Phatail kit but in the end opted to only take it up to a 200mm due to cost and then ridability- the fact that PM also didn't have a kit for the 07's available at that time was a factor, but cost was the big oneplus i wasn't totally happy with the 'pull to the left' side effect i've seen in posts about the wide tyre kits.

If you need "assistance" prodding the wholesaler for delivery, lemme know and I'll email you the particulars of the bloke at Cassons and the bloke at Arlenn Ness in the USA.
