Is anyone running the 180MM fat front tire kit on their Rushmore bike? I really like the look and would like something different, all my buddies all have 21" and 26" slims on the front.

I wanted to get some feedback on the ride and the handling, I ride the hell out of my 2015 Road Glide. It is two years old and I have 25,000 miles on it, it's not a trailer queen. I don't want to give up comfort and handling for the look.

Any idea who sells a complete kit and what am I going to have to spend? Thanks in advance for the input.

I like the look as well. Dont know anyone that has it. Native Custom Baggers is the one I have been looking at.

Thanks for the share, it will get me started.

 

I am also very interested in doing a 180 front tire. I have done a TON of exhaustive research and keep coming back to Native Customs, as well. They seem to have all the bases covered, from the simple fender kit, to the full conversion. If/when I do a 180 front wheel/fender, Native Customs will be my go-to place.

 

I like the look!

 

That's bitchin! I didn't know that was an option. I'm guessing you have to run a rear tire up front?

 

Everything I have read says , yes..... Turn a 180 rear tire backwards and run it up front.


Which means, at least for me.... I can keep my Wide White Walls!!!! WooHoo!

 

Besides the looks, are there any functional advantages to the fat front tire mod?

 

I just had mine installed on my 15 RG. As soon as the other mods are completed I'll have first hand experience with the ride. Hopefully in the next couple weeks!

 

I don't know why, but I will defend this opinion to the death! For whatever reason.... these fat tire kits look the best on the Road Glides. I couldn't tell you why, but it always seems to be the case. I'm not implying it not awesome on any other bike, but all other things being equal, the Roadies own the fat tire look.
