Default largest tire size on my 03 ultra classic electra glide

Just wondering what size can be use on my bike? Anyone using larger than sock tires?

I think a 140 or 150 might be the widest.

I have a 150 PC II on my 04 Rk. However, I had to machine the surface of the brake caliper to fit, a 140 fits fine with no machine work.

Tire width can vary between manufacturers. Most 140 or the MU85 will fit. Change to the '04 belt and pulley and they say a 150 will fit.
