Hi from somewhere not far away old chap and welcome to HDF. I recommend you visit the Sportster section, where you will find plenty of info on your query, such as this thread as an example - to whet your appetite.

By seeing your other post HERE, can we assume you already have a 170 on your stock 3" Rear Wheel (not really recommended btw) and now you want to put a 180 on your bike? Your question is what wheel should you change to?
