Question 2001 Heritage Maximum Tire width

Does anyone know how big a rear tire I can stick on my 2001 Heitage without nmodifying anything; it ahs a 150/80 at the moment but I'd like to go bigger?

Cheers

Gordon

150 was the widest I could go on my 2000 Heritage without further mods.

You might be able to stuff a 160 under there, but it is questionable. Not much of a difference between the two. 10 millimeters.

the price of the upgrades to make a bigger one fit, would almost make it a good deal to upgrade to a newer model that has the 200 on it already..plus get a newer model.
