I went to my local stealer to get a stock rear tire and it cost me an arm, leg, and my first born... lol... I've never seen a 300 kit, but Chubby's Choppers in Lansing, MI does a 200 kit for baggers $5,800 installed. Its made by Fat Baggers, Inc.

Depends on what you consider costly, if you can afford to drop between probably $7-10K then you can get a much wider tire ( I don't think you can get a 300 though). As Eddie Trotta once said in an interview the best ride he ever got was from a 240 tire, anything bigger is just for looks and not handling.
