Hi, i'm almost new to this site and i don't know very much about Harley.
I remove the carb and remove all possible screw and the bowl and boil it in vinager for 1 hour and reassemble, run like new. I also change the starter for a 1.4 kw instead of the 0.8 kw from hitachi from the factory.
I like the style of my bike but i would like it more with a wider tire. I have a softail custom 2003 with a 1340 1988.
The frame is a replica so where can i go from there ? thanks

I think your stock rear wheel is 16 x 3... if so max recommended tire width is 130. If you change out the wheel to a wider wheel, the max size tire that can fit your fender without any mods is a 160.
While we are on the subject, does any one know the largest tire size I can run on a stock 1990 FXRS? It looks like I have about .25" clearance to the belt and no problems on the right side.
