DynaBob, rear tire is a Metzeler 880 - 150/70/B18 (I like the taller diameter wheel/tire combination). Rear wheel - 4.5" width. No issues regarding belt or fender clearances. Saddlebag removal is a 5-minute job.

I have a 150/80VB-16 Metzeler Lasertec on the rear of my 2000 Fatty. It's not even close to the belt and I didn't have to turn my strut bolts outwards. Biggest you can go is a 150 on that 2000 Fatty 16x3 rim. Light um up!!!! Not...
