Default 200 tire

Currently own an 05 night train. Has anyone managed to get a 200 on a stock 05 model?

Sorry, can,t be done. I have an 05 standard and I've researching and asking questions here on the forum and from what I have found a 180 is as wide as you can go and there's even been some debate about that. Michael

You should be able to get a 180 on, but you may have to reverse your fender strut bolts. Have them run inside out, instead of outside in. You may even have to change the bolts to a flatter head style. Always check and recheck your clearances, and remember your tire will expand once it warms up. Nothing worse than a blowout, so check, double check, and triple check when tire is warm
