Default 2001 wide glide tires

Can a 2001 harley Dyna wide glide take a wider back tire than the stock 130/90/16(Mt 90/16), without any modifications? Like not a ton wider like would a 140/85/16 fit with no mods? Could you go even wider? Any feedback is appreciated!

Both a 140/85 and 150/80 will fit the stock wheel (I've done that on other models), which leaves us with clearance with the beltguard. You may find a 140/85 will fit, although it may be darned close or require mods to the belt guard - I removed the rubber inner part on my older bike. If you have the 1 1/2" wide belt I'm going to guess a 150/80 won't quite fit. Pop into the Dyna section, where they should be able to give you a better answer.
