is anyone running a 150 rear on their 2001 or earlier fxd superglide? If so what if anything did you do to fit it? or did it just fit?

I have been using 160/60 ZR 18 Bridgestone's on the back of my '01 FXDXT for a couple of years now. I shaved the strut bolt heads down on the inside of the fender; other than the obvious (that I'm using an 18" X 4.25" rear rim) it's been no problem; even 2-up...
