Fat Boy front tire question
Dyna owner here looking for some help.
I'm going to rebuild my front wheel with a 3.5x17 rim and fit a Fat Boy tire, the later model 140/75R17 size. It's an 06 FXDBi so I'm fairly confident it'll fit between the sliders.
Can any Fat Boy owners tell me a couple of things please?
Firstly, how wide is the front tire at its widest point?
The different brands are presumably slightly different widths so can you also let me know what brand you're running?
Finally how much can you buy this tire for in the States and do you know any dealers that will ship to Europe for a reasonable cost? These tires cost around Ł150 over here.
Thanks in advance
