Default Balloon tires

Any of you thought about putting on a set of those bobber/balloon tires on your dyna? I've seen some euro bikes with some fat *** tires on the front. I kinda think that would be different.

i think that it looks kinda like the one they have on the Fat Bob. The guys at harley over here when I said I wanted to change the front wheel, they instantly started talking about a 16" fatty. Check out this months american iron mag there are a couple of good examples in there

dude you can bump up to a 120 on front of the bob stock wheel... looks stupid with the stock fender though... i have modified a fat bob front fender to work on my st bob so i can get up to around a 130 for the next tire change... i like the 19 front wheel woudl not drop down to a 16... but would go up in tire sizes (thickness)

See I like the Exile Cycle look. Do you think he uses 16" wheels?
