Dan from Seattle here. New to the forum, relatively new to the world of HD.
I have a '13 Forty-eight that I absolutely love, but haven't had enough time and $$ to modify as I wanted to, I have now saved enough to do some work on the bike and I have a couple of question: I really like the look of vintage tires and thinking about getting a set (see pic). I see often times people using the same size front and back. Is that something that can be done without major mods to the bike?
What size would you recommend?
Just buy those tires in the same size as your stock....I believe front 130/90-16 and rear 150/80-16. It is a matter of just replacing the tires if you do not intend to replace your wheels.
