Default Bigger meat in front?
Probably not what some of you are expecting because of my post title but I have a 2013 SG and although I am not ready for a new front tire yet, I was wondering if anyone has put on a larger (wider) tire like a 140. I know the stocker is 130. Just want to "fill out" the front fender a bit more so it's basically a vanity thing.

To each his own but some things are better left alone.

I have a 140 on the front of my ultra, it was the only size for a www. It looses some low speed finesse but it doesn't follow the rain grooves on the freeway like my 130 did.

I'm just relieved that you weren't asking about more meat in back.
