Wider bagger tire size
Can't seem to find the exact info I am looking for even using the search.
Going to replace tire on the back of a 08 Ultra. What is widest tire that can be fit? I will post on the General and tire sections also. Thanks

150 Dunlop, 160 Metzler......make sure you stay with something close to the same load rating. Just placed a Dunlop 150 on my friends SG.

I have that same scoot (tour pak on). Did you install the "tru duals" to dissapate the heat? I did that to a '98 EVO Heritage Softail w/ a Stage 1 kit. Picked up 6 more Horses and nice top end. This '07 is HOT (temp). Just askin'

I have not yet talked to this man yet but going too. He has a shop in Pasadena,TX that claims he can put a 160 Dunlop E3 on 04 and newer with no mods. I have the no. at work, but I think his shop is call Pasadena Tire Shop. I am currently running E3's on my 05 now. I have 130 on the front and a 150 on the rear, with no probs.

you can do a 160 on a rim 4.5 inches, if the rim is not that wide I would stick nothing larger than a 150--with the 160 you may have to trim the belt guard 1/8 inch -- I had the best results with the 150 metz--the 160 seemed to wear a little faster.

I am assuming that the same will go for an 07 RKC? I am going to go bigger next tire change and I was curios what my options were for a bigger tire. what is the widest wheel\tire combo i can put on without having to mod the other parts (fender\guard etc..).
