Default Can it be done?

After searching, I came up with nothing on wheather you can install a 200 series rear tire on a Street Glide. The bike has a stock rear fender and I was hoping a 200 tire and rim off an 08' Nightrain would fit. Anyone have input?

Thanks in advance, Brad

200 will fit a 09 without any modifications -- seen several in Daytona and a couple of HD dealers in ATL have them on showroom bikes

I will have to get specifics, I had the dealer do it. My dealer has quite a few glides on their floor with 200's so I wouldn't think they had to do much.

After reading this post, I guess no changes needed.

What does the 09' touring bike normally come with on the rear?

Never mind, according to the Harley website it is 180, well for the UC anyways. I would think it is the same for all touring bikes. So if they are putting a 200 on the rear, I wonder if it is coming from the factor that way?

The street glides come with a 180.
