Your bike looks awesome!
Yes, no mods. Fit right on. Dunlop 250/40/18.

24V, your bike is looking better every time! You added some more powder coated parts and looks awesome! Gasser wheels are badass in black!

I have a Thundermax in mine and had to take it back out for repair of the autotune.
I suppose I could take it back out, but I wanted to show there is plenty of room to access this area without removing the tire. 1/4" socket set does wonders in tight spaces. With the plastic cover off, there are just the ecm bolts and elec. connectors, all accessable.

Default Got some bags today
Picked up these bags today new for $190. Brings a whole new comfort to the bike when we are traveling around. Clearance over the d and d bobcat's upswept design is spot on. Spent the day running around filling up the bags with a few things, bags are nice when ya need them.. No way I was paying for hd breakout bags.

It will fit the wheel, but I'm not sure it would fit under the fender.
