Is it just me or does it look like deer antlers from the back?

No, it's the stock rocker fender, just chopped

I needed new tires on my 08 FXCWC and I just pulled the trigger on the Metzler 260/40 VR18 and 100/90 R19.

They look great on HD100's Rock' and I hope that all the stuff I have read about Metzler handling is true, I also hope that the stuff I read about them not wearing as long as the Dunlops is not true.

we shall see...

Dunlop Elite 3 250 on mine with the Heartland. No other mods needed. I did tuck my wires from the signal lights a little tighter to the fender, but it didn't need it. That was just me being ****.

Yes the 260 will fit but the dunlop 250 is actually wider on the stock wheel

Just picked up a 260 and 110 for the front. Don't plan on running a front fender so I'm gonna try and get a 110 on there.
