2000 roadking rear tire size?
I am wondering if anyone can help me. I would like to put a slightly wider tire on my 2000 road king. I have a dunlop/harley d402 90B16, I belive stock size. wonder if I can put a 140/90 16 or larger. there's not much room before interference with the belt.

I have an Avon Venom 140/90 on the rear of my 1990 bike and removed the rubber skirt from my belt guard to get it in. There is just 3/16 inch clearance between belt and tyre edge.
What you need to establish is the fitted width of your current tyre and also for alternatives. Avon give that information on their website here.. You may be able to get the same information for other brands.
A Venom 130/90 is 133mm wide and a 140/90 is 143mm wide. Avon recommends the same tyres for your bike, but you may have more clearance to fit alternatives. Avon also make 150, 160 and 170 wide tyres, but they are likely to have a similar sidewall height to your standard tyres. 160 and wider tyres are likely to need a wider rim that your stock wheel.
