Default 160 on Softail

Have any of you had any experience in putting a 160 tire on a 04 Softail Standard or Night Train . I bought a Deuce wheel for my bike and it has a almost new 160 mounted on it . I did some measurements and it looks like it will fit. Thanks for any help you cane give.

what's the size of the stock?

stock for an 06 Fatboy is 150mm and I'm told I can definately go 160mm without
worrying about spacers and such. Although, the same person was unsure about
the possibility of going with 180mm with spacers and without having too replace
the swingarm... and being he works and sales HD's I thought that was a little odd.

My point? If your stock is 150mm going to 160mm likely not a problem but
admittedly I'm not familiar with softail standards or Night Trains.
