Question Fatboy 2007 tyres need widening

Hi,

I am new to this forum and a complete amateur when it comes to harleys. I have a 2007 fatboy with 180mm rear tires. I was looking at some customization options and fell in love with the way the 300+ tires look like. Did some reading and figured that a tire that size makes riding a bit difficult but then again I live in the UAE and I don't ride more than 2K kilometers every year because of the heat.

The plan is to get both tires as fat as possible. I would be really grateful if someone could please help me figure out what kind of kit I may buy to achieve the goal.

Thanks in advance.

Start by taking a look at the Heartland kit as it will give you an idea as to what to expect: https://heartlandbiker.com/collectio...tail-2000-2006

I highly recommend you find a similar bike with the wide tires you are planning to convert to. Ride it and see if you really like it regardless of riding 10 miles a year or 1000's of miles.
