150mm?
150mm?
Ok I am sure this has been asked before but it I really need to know the answer. I have a 2003 softail standard I love my bike but would really like to go bigger on the rear wheel, it has the stock 150mm is that as big as I can go without a major mod or can I go to a 160mm and do you think 10mm would really make a difference? I would love to do the whole mod but really dont have the cash flow this winter.
Disregard this post in fact someone should delete it I am an idiot I posted this same thread back in march and forgot so I did what I should have done first and searched for the answer and found the post I previously posted. Please forgive me for being a moron.

And just for the record,
Here is what I did and worked best for me.
1 - File 1/8" off the break Claiber and add proper spacers to center wheel perfectly under bike.
2- Turn Strut bolts inside out so nothing sticks out.
3 - (my wrench is really cool and did that) he filed some pieces of the plastic rear guard so the belt do not rub, he said they do rub sometimes stock.
Very easy, 2-3 hour of shop work including tire installation .
Regards
