The Avon Cobra 200 on an 18" x 5.5 fits right in with no problems what so ever.

you are correct, 09 and up you can throw a 200 on.

I have a 240 for sale from an 2010 HD Rocker. It has less than 300 miles on it!

The big 240 tire sure does look cool. However you cant really see it on the bagger. 200 is a nice size for a bagger.

I remember way back when I put a 240 rear tire on my V-rod, before they came with 240's from the factory, it looked really good. However, I also lost 12 rwhp by doing it. Good thing it looked cool because 12 rwhp on a bike sure is a noticable seat of the pants difference
