GREETINGS FROM THE ARIZONA HIGHLANDS You might look down in the Softtail Models forum. Use the Search function at the top of the page as somebody may have asked that question before.

RE: rear tire size

Welcome Michael, if you haven't found the answer to the tire size yet it's 160 max. Only 10mm wider than standard but looks better.

RE: rear tire size

Mike,

Welcome to the forum from Manteca CA. Enjoy your stay and ride safe. We have some good people here on the forum and then you have myself. Congrats on the new softail if I'm not mistaken I believe you can go up to a 160 on the rear. You can do a search to find your answer.
