140/90 tire on a 97 springer?????
Has anyone run a 140/90-16 or an MU85-16 on a Evo Springer? I'm wondering how wide I can go without getting a new swingarm. It comes stock with a 130/90-16 or MT90-16. Thanks!!

I just stuffed a 160 under my BB with the stock fender changing the pulley and belt.No rubs.

I just put an MU Metzler on my 91 custom and it fits. It's a tad close to the drive belt but it clears.

2000-2005 wheel,pulley and rotor. Bolt on. Using a Dunlop E-3 at 6-7/8 on the 3.5" rim it will be a straight bolt on. Using a Metzler 880 at 7" on a 3.5 rim you will have to spread the frame horns a little. The inside of the horns are usually 7.25" That's a Metzler and stock fender on my BB. It has never rubbed
