Default Help with tire size please.
Hey folks,

I got a 01 Fatboy that the guy I bought it from did a bunch of things to. My main question is, it has a Metz 130/60R18 63H front tire on it now and I can't find that size anywhere! Will a 130/70 be fine for it or do I need something else. Hate to bother with such a dumb question but the dealer near me was trying to upsell me on everything in the world and I don't have time for that. New to HD bikes and i really enjoy riding (beats the hell out of the sport bike i was riding) but don't want to roll around on the bald front any longer. Thanks guys!

I have a 2001 Fatboy as well... I have the stock rims and tires though - 130/90/16 - I'd like to know if I can put anything wider on. Bump!
