Default 150 tire on 87 XLH? + headlight bucket help
will a 150 tire fit on a 87 XHL? whats the widest you can do without doing anything CRAZY?

off topic I know but What headlight bucket will fit on the sporty? I looked at a sporty with a headlight bucket that went around the light and around the tubes and looked awesome. anyone know anything about that?

Don't know about the tire but for the headlight your looking for a Nacelle. Schumacher had one on his 883, I don'y know if you can get one to fit your year bike tho.
