Default Help please... wider rear wheel!

I'm going to build a project bike from an 07 Fat Boy. I want to custom fit a 300/40/17 rear tire on the widened rim.

Question: How do I align the engine pulley and the rear pulley? Is there an aftermarket swing arm? Any help will be welcomed!!

300 is something I don't know about on a softail but an offset transmission pulley is used for wide tire kits along with a wider swing arm.

We do 300 kits for VROD and they consist of a wider swingarm, a wheel designed to fit that swingarm, the offset transmission pulley and assorted hardware and such. The widest kit I know of for a softail off the shelf is the Heartland two five o kit.

Great! I then will start off with the offset pulley... You stock them? Cost?

Many thanks!

They are for VROD's, not softails. For a softail what I sell are Heartland kits which include to transmission offset. They are designed for the 250 kit thus I don't think they will work if you are putting a 300 on your bike.
