I think the part number for the 180/55 ZR 17 Scorcher 11 is 43200011

 

Perfect! I updated my initial post with the correct number.

 

The crossbones rear wheel is 17x6 and comes with a 200 tire. That actually will require a chain conversion, some modification of fender struts, and various grinding depending on how low your rear sits. This thread and most questions here are for a direct swap with minimal to no modifications. That is why the 17x4.5 Street Bob wheel works perfect here.

I will say though, it looks bad *** on a Sportster.

 

Would a 16X5.0 need much more modifications to fit than a 17X4.5?. If possible?.

 

Anyone?....

Would a X 5.0 rim even fit?. It's a 1/2" I know but someone might have tried this combo?.

 

Ive been following this thread.......something I may do this winter. But I dont want laced wheels. I see I can get some 16X5s though. I dont see why it wouldnt work.......the tire is wider than the rim. You would have to do some spacer work though.

 

Those 16X5 wheels just wonder about that hub, the hub seems huge...

 

This certainly seems to be an economical way to put a 200 on the back of my 48. Older post, any others try this swap? Was the stock axle reused?

 

This is probably the best post on this subject! Nothing better since.

 

and he's using the stock 48 rear fender?
