RE: wider tire ?
depends on how wide you want to go, you can get a 150 kit from HD , has what you need and is pretty simple, for a 180 you need to add a rear fender, for a 240 - 250 you need a new swingarm , rear fender, offset the transmission, new internals for transmission, new struts, new seat , wheel and tire if your mechanically inclined not to hard and lots of fun , and the results speak for themselves

150 with a 2003 a OEM 2003 Fatboy wheel or 150 with a machined caliper and spacer. Easy! 160-180 with a 5" wheel and a different fender and changing your strut bolts inside out. 200 and above all the above with a 5.5" wheel and spacing your narrower pulley and a bit of grinding to the inside of your primary. Anything above 200 you need a new swingarm etc....

Fatboy2five0 first I have say your bike is kller. I also have an 03 Anniv. model & would love to do what you did with your back tire. I just don't have the cash flow right now to swing it. I don't want to pry but could you give us a ball park figure on what that would cost with the same kit you installed. Thanks bro!
