No.

You need a larger wheel and some shaving of the hard bits on the rear. You need either a new thinner pulley and belt or a machined OEM pulley. After that, you need the correct spacers and it's a good idea to shave down the inner strut supports so that it doesn't rub on bumps. Oh, and the plastic mud guard needs to be shaved down.

What I meant to say was no. You can't use a stock wheel. You have to use a larger wheel and modify the rear so it's not stock.

YES U can if U have enough $$$$$..

I believe the Duece has a 160 stock tire,, some have done a 180 only tire change in certain brand tires that is narrower than other.. U'll have to do some research to see!!!

To go with a 200 U prob have to go with at least a tire kit, that encludes at the least a new wider rear frame.

All the work and parts needed to do it will set U back prob between $2-3k's,, even more if U want some really good wheels.

It only cost me about $700 and that's because I didn't use the OEM pulley. If you look at my post above yours, you'll see than a new rear "frame" (swingarm) isn't needed.

Thanks I wanted to know if I could just pull the 180 out and throw a 200 in. I stuck a 200 on my 96 softtail using a 51/2in rim had to take a 2in by 1/2in chunk out of the swing arm for drive belt clearence and weld the fender straight to the frame but it all worked just needed to know if I was going to have to repete the hassle or not I think this time ill just spend the 1500$ and get a heartland kit
