150 Dunlop squeezed into the back of my '04 just fine. I don't recall any noticable difference in handling, but it looks a lot better than the pencil thin and wimpy 130.

ORIGINAL: Rex 1993

www.pingelonline.com
rear sprocket spacer-part #62051
fits 2000-2003 flh's
go from a 130 back tire to a 142 $35.95us

3 of us have used this part and it works great
no charge for install at dealer when new tire was put on

I have a 2003 Ultra and I do like the idea of 35% longer life at the rear tire!
But, was wondering what the rear sprocket spacer does to the trail and track of the rear wheel.
Are you running Dunlop tires?
Does it put the rear wheel off center?
Is there an equal spacer for the right side of the wheel?

I went to the site you gave aboveand was fowarded to Drag Specialties.
DS has several spacers of different thicknesses.
How thick is the Pingel spacer that is required for the 2003 Ultra?

thanks

I ran a 130f/140r and than went to a 130f/150r on an 01.

130 to 140 is a difference of 10 mm. I did it on my 02 EG the only problem was it rubbed on the final drive belt cover, I took the cover off (its made of plastic) and cut a notch in it.

Hey Puzzled,
If a picture is worth a thousand words??
All I can say is Thanks for the 6000 words worth of pictures.

My next rear tire is a 140 for sure.

Nice looking ride!!

I have the 140 on the back of my 02 RKC. I was worried that it would rub but it didn't. It is close though. It does rub when ever I roll the bike bakwards. When I told the dealer this he gave me a perfectly good explanation of what was happening. Too bad I can't rememver what it was but after 8,000 miles it works fine going forward.
