Default New RADIAL front tire on the Street Bob... (Pics)

I bought a new tire, I ride quite hard so I wanted a better tire. Looks, feels and handles better...
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;
It is the the same tire that´s on the V-Rod models...

Did you have to do any modifications for that? I need a new front tire within the next week or so, so I may do something like that.. looks good!

This appears to have blown a hole in the theory I have always heard that radials don't belong on laced wheels...

No mods at all!! I haven´t tried the stock fender though but it should fit, maybe needs to be lowered. The profile of the new tire is lower.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;

Stock: 90mm (3.54inches)
New: 84mm (3.3inches)
&nbsp\\;
Feels good to have radials both front and rear...

Added 2 more pics!

That looks great if I hadn't just bought the SE set I'd go with that.I had heard that it wouldn't fit ,I guess they were wrong.

I have the SE 180 tire rear. see pic. But I think that&nbsp\\;the 200 is the ultimate size on the bob. Next time.&nbsp\\;

Interesting. I thought you had to have a spoke rim sealed to run a tubeless tire.
