YepI'm running18 x 3.5 for the front and 18 x 4.25 in the rear. The max tire sizes you can run is 140/70-18 for the front and a 160/60-18 for the rear. Metzelers of course, rides like it's on a rail. Way better ride than the 16" Dunlops. Go for it!! Merry Christmas!! Love the sig.[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Did you have to do any mods to run the 160 rear? What year is your bike? I knew a 150 would work but I didn't know a 160 would work without mods.

It is an 06 FatBoy, no mods were needed. She is also lowered with the HD shocks front and rear!!
