Just to note that 200mm is not on a stock wheel. It is on an 18x5.5. i just wanted to clarify that clearance isn't a problem with the QD hardware and tucking the wires real good. Probably best if the signals are relocated as that gets the wires out of there all together.

That's right. other than my signals relocated and the QD hardware I did nothing else fender or wiring wise and the 200 fits. Proof is in the pics.

 

i think everyone is missing the point that the se180 is the widest tire that will fit on the stock 17x4.5" rim

 

Thanks everybody for your input. I pulled the trigger on the SE 180 without any of the additional kits or parts the catalog says I need.

It'll be installed on the 30th. I've got a 800+ mile trip between now and then - hopefully the old one will hold up.

I'll post pics when its done!

Bull ****!
The Pirelli Night Dragon 180/60-17 fits a 4.5" rim and with cramils comments on the 200 fitting I am much more confident that I won't have a problem fitting it to the bike.

What about us guys stuck in the middle on a 17 inch rim? Do I go with the 18 inch rim for more tire choices or go to a 16 inch rim for the lower profile?? Aint too many rim or tire choices at 17 inch.

 

Guys,I've got a set of tail-lite standoffs and also the bolts that come with the wide tire kit over in the classifieds. Not trying to spam you guys but some of the info in the thread might be useful if you're going with a wde tire.

Good Luck

Ah, okay, I take it back then. I've heard of stuffing a 200 inside the stock fender but never on the stock rim.

As for the detachable hardware and signal relocation kit, that does take up some of the slack in the wires and makes the wide tire kit even less necessary. However, if you can snug the wires out of the way, neither the relocation kit or the wide tire kit is necessary - that's all it is for.

 

I finally scrubbed off the rest of my rubber and I am going to try and get my Night Dragon mounted up tomorrow, I'll post about the fit as soon as I get it on, I hope it fits! I should take the wheels off now, but I am on the quote





wasnt that you that posted this yesterday? If it does fit I'll stand corrected. Still havent heard of any one who actually used this tire on a dyna. It would be nice to have another choice in rear tires on stock rims.
cramils 200 is on a 18x5.5 rim BTW.

 

Sorry, did not mean to jump on you like that, I have been feeling crappy lately, taking predniesone and it makes me jumpy. I almost blew a cork R+R my wheels today because of that ****. Getting the rear back on was just kicking my ***, trying to line up all the spacers and the freaking caliper. Long story short, the Night Dragon fit really well, I posted a pic on the "Night Dragon" thread.
