Default 09 StreetBob, Which CT?

Hey guys! My buddy has a 2009 Street Bob, and after discussing the dark side with me, he wants to give it a try. I love mine on my VTX1800.

What size and tire would you recommend for his street bob with no modifications? Thanks again!

Thanks Collin,

I noticed that website before, but it only had (1) street bob, and the information did not help. Thanks for your post!

Maybe you could check what other Harleys use the same size tire as the 2009 street bob and look them up on the darkside site.

Any of the Harley touring models '09 and later would take the same tire. Basically a 195 / 16 or a 205 / 16 should fit with the 205 being pretty tight. Many Goldwings run this size also, so looking to see what they are using may help.
