Default 2000 Fat Boy rear tire
I will be replacing both tires on my fat boy, but would like to install a fatty on the back. What is the biggest tire the rear fender will take?

Any pics of your 200 tire without any mods? Or, are you sayin that a fender, struts, wheel... are not considered mods?


Roadtech, the Dr's right. 160 on a 2000 FB. A 160 tire does fit better on a rim wider then 3" - I believe that is what you have? Check the tires recommended rim sizes before proceeding.
