Looks to be plenty of room, not sure why they did not come stock with a 180

. I was going to get a chopped fender and run a side mount plate, but so far the chopped swap meet fenders are not working out. I need a 8.5" fender to chop. I do not want to spend $200 to shorten my fender 6" and I do not want to cut my stock fender..lol

So i got the Metzeller's "marathon"
Since i'm still a supersport rider i didn't appreciate Metzeler.
But they're excellent for Harleys!
Some feedback for the Night Dragons would be helpull!!

As far as I know the night dragon will work on any 4.5" wheel. Most dealers are not going to sell you anything but the stock tire brand.

I also found that the GT502 was almost a half of an inch wider then the 180 tire I got from the swap meet. This was off the bike and on.

The night dragon is a 4.5" tire
