Default Bigger front tire on a Sportster

Okay so I have a 2009 Harley Sportster 883 custom. I’m pretty new to working on bikes so I have no idea how to figure out how to do this myself or if the local Harley dealer near me could help. I have a very narrow front tire, can’t really go above 60 on the highway without feeling a good amount of wobble. I’m looking to completely customize this bike and the first thing I want to do is put a fat front wheel on. What all would I need to do this? Please post links for everything I would need. Thanks!!

I can't help with the fat front tyre, but if you have a wobble at 60 then you have a problem you should get to the bottom of first, before making any changes. Could be as simple as a badly worn tyre, wrong tyre pressures, loose steering bearings....

Hey! My name is Kayla, I work with WanaRyd. I can help with everything! We carry wheels and we also carry parts/accessories. So I'll make sure you get everything you need.

You have some options.. Your stock wheel size is 19x2.15, paired with a 100 tire.
You could go with a 19x3 paired with a 130 tire.
Or you could go with 21x3.5 paired with a 120 tire.

We have 19" and 21" fenders.

You can reach me at Kayla@WanaRyd.com / 888-926-2793 (ext 130)
