I was in the same boat as you. I wanted to go with the fat back tire, but it's just so expensive! I passed. I'd just feel to guilty! Also, I didn't want to deal with the down-sided issues that a fat rear tire like poor handeling.

Check out DM Customhttp://www.dmcustoms.net/ . They have a couple of wide tire kits. One kits puts a 200 tire on a stock swingarm. I just ordered, there is a 3-5 week wait for delivery.

Try Heartlandbiker.com
They have a 180/200 kit which I'm currently putting on
my Deuce and they also have a 250 kit. Great guys to
deal with and everything fits like a glove. I'll post some
pics as soon as shes all done.
P.S. I got the fender, strut and seat combo for $1250.00 usd

Check your local Harley Dealer. They should have their product book. THe cool thing about the kit is that if you want a passenger the pilon with a sissy bar attaches to the fender strut and there is a gap between the fender and pilon. You can take it off and replace the inserts on the fender strut.

RE:clearance issues
Hey nice ride,
Are you running a stock swingarm on your bike? if so what size belt are you running and what kind of clearance do have for tire and frame. I,m running stock swingarm and 3/4 belt with avon venom 200mm and have maybe a 1/4 clearance if that.
Thanks Rich
