I have a superglide and would like to put a fatter front tire on it. I would like to know what is the largest I can go on the standard wheel with the standard fender. Also, if anyone has a good suggestion for the tire please let me know.

 

i second that question.

 

I asked this just the other day in another thread.....the answer from some very knowledgable folks was 120/70/19.....apparently this is the size of the VROD front tire and it fits fine.

 

There is a section on Dunlops site that lists the allowable rim sizes for tires.

 

FXDC with the touring front tire like the fat bob would be the bike...

 

Thanks for the information on the size. I will get one this weekend.

 

You can put a 120/70 tire on, no problems! BUT the narrow rim makes the 120 more narrow than it should be, if you measure it when fitted it still be around 100mm...you loose 20mm because of the rim squezze it together and makes the total profile higher. But it works.

 

110 is the max size on the standard rim Ive been advised : )
