Default 200mm fatboy

I'm looking into getting a fatboy.I like the fat appearance of the whole bike,but something happen to the rear end.they are not fat at all unless i spend 16000 on a new one that id wanna modify severely.is there any options other than a very expensive 200mm swingarm kit.can a 200mm fit in the stock swingarm.and what would i have to do?also i want to retain a stock looking fender and struts.i dont wanna go with a strutless fender.the way i look at it is if i spend 10-11000 on a used one id have 6000 to put into a custom fatboy instead of a stock one.

Short of buying a new one, (they come stock with 200mm rear tires), google "wide tire kits", there's many alternatives out there with different prices, anywhere form $1500 to $3000. You can't fit a 200mm or wider tire in a stock frame without some kind of wide tire "kit" which includes a new swing arm...

acually JayBrake makes a kit that you can use the stock swing arm. Only modification is taking a notch out of the brake mount..
