Well I'm gonna try again
So I'm going to try this again, with the same tire I tried before , austone taxi tire that I got from notgrownup. Any way the last time I took it to an Indy , he took a fender off the shelf and said look. It won't fit in there! And he would not try it. So this time I'm just gonna do it myself , if Dave Anderson can get it on his2004 road king custom I think it should fit my 2004 egc .probably be the weekend before I do it. Any one have any tips on removing and mounting a tire?

Ok I got the tire on , it fits Kind of. Had to remove the belt guard , and pulled out on the left side of the fender , not much just a tweek. As far as I can tell it does not rub any where . I have ridden prolly close to 100 miles on it today. In general I can not really tell much of a difference in the way it rides or handles. Actually my first ride was to the parking lot where we do slow speed cone manuevers, I was still able to do the offset cone weave . 18 ft circles and the cross of death . So I don't see a problem there. But here is the kicker , I got a wobbler. 65- 70 mph is where it comes in , I tried to accelerate thru it but my ***** aren't that big . I'll keep it on there for a while ,but I'm seeing another motorcycle tire in the future, I really want this to work. Now my opinion is that it is not necessarily the tire ,but maybe the geometry of the bike. I think the wobble is a front end problem exaggerated by the bigger tire , if that makes any sense. Who knows but for now it's on there .

So yes the austone taxi tire will fit on a 2004 electraglide , but whether or not it works it yet to be determined.
