I just spoke to 3 different tire shop they said it doesn't make any difference about the contact patch between 180 and 200


The bike now runs so beautiful after my tires have done over 300km

That looks great from the rear! I'd cut off that plastic tab with the reflector under the plate so you can see the tire better. Question is your brake lights integrated in your turn signals?

Yeah the Harley club president told me to do the same thing so i will get it done

Thanks guys....

BTW if you use 200 wide tire kit the tire would look at least 1 inch wider but i dont wanna pay $3000 for that !!!

200mm cobra 6" rim sanitized fender / custom spacers / custom signal light mounts / reworked sprocket and spacer / lots of fitting.

Tire Width for a Wheel/Rim Size Chart (tyresizecalculator.com)

Hope this chart helps anyone with questions about rim vs tire size...

THE CORRECT WAY DOING IT!!!

The 200mm rear tire fits right on my 2015 oem 17x4.5 rim

EDIT: now that i have done a few 100 miles on my bike the 200mm tire is a charm

So if you own a 2013+ street bob and you want 200mm tire? Just put it on there is no need for spacers or anything else

If the tire is rubbing against the wall after the installation it could only mean the engine isn't mounted straight so all you have to do is realign the engine to get both side of your tire cleared of the mud guard.

My mechanic is freaking awesome he did it for me if you guys are in Perth Australia and you want a very good mechanic to work on your bike give Ando a call






INCORRECT WAY OF DOING IT!!!

Yes, this is a old thread, but to save a new rider from bad info. Just because it's possible, it still should not be done.
