RE: rear tire ?
On the stock rim, you can run the Dunlop GT502Screamin' Eagle tire. It's a 180x60r17. It is the only 180 rear tire I no of to fit on a 4.5" rim. This is the tire I have on my Street Bob. If you want to upgrade wheels, you can go to a 18x5.5 and then any 180 should work. You don't need a wide tire kit even though Harley sells one. I still have room and all I did was add the tire. I have heard rumors that if you use a 18x5.5 you can squeeze a 200, but I have never seen it personally so I am not sure if it's true.

I've just got a Dunlop SP Max D220 ST 180/55-17, and it looks great. It lows my bike.
