go to hogpro.com, they have a 200 set up that they run with good luck. Will be buying mine this week


Bought the wheel package today but went with the 180 tire instead, no modifications with the 180, with the 200 you have to change belts, diff pulley, spacers, splash guard...blah, blah.

I wanted an easy install/upgrade

I went the 180, for the cost and mods it the best way to go IMO.

I have the Venom R 18055zr/18 (74w) and it's 187mm. It's a little
bigger than the Venom C which is 179mm if I'm not mistaking. But
I will be going to the 200 when this one wears out. I think I'm going
to have to machine my pulley to accept the new HD 7/8 belt but it
will fit.

Hey Canuck, just out of curiosity, why would you have to machine your pulley?I don't know how you could machine down your width in a pulley.Myself, I'm guessing by this winter, with all the kit's that are out there, I will be able to find an '06 pulley and belt on ebay or at a swap meet.
