I have been searching the internet for what seems like hours now and can't find anything useful, let reasonably priced.

I have a 04 wide glide with the stock 150 tire on the rear. I want at least a 180, maybe even a 200.

Can anybody point me in the right direction, or know how I can go about this?



TIA

 

HD has a kit for the 180. Not sure if its for your bike. I'd say it depends on what wheel you have etc. 200 would most likely not be an options. For you. Unless you do some cutting etc.

 

Without going to a wider fender, I doubt you will fit anything wider than a 160 on it.

I have a 03 (same width fender) and I have a Metzler 150 on mine and IMO its a tight fit with wiring and the strut bolts. If you did a True Track to keep the rear end from swaying around, you might get away with a 160.

To go to a 180 or 200, you will need to go with a wide fender kit and primary spacer kit.

 

What he said I did alot of research on this for my 04 LR and found the same thing, without changing the fender a 160 is as wide as you can go. The difference between a 150 and a 160 to me wasn't enough to bother with doing it!!!

160 80/16 on my bike....Next set of tires it will be a 150 Avon Venom... they are as wide as a 160 Metz. 880.

 

FYI -

On my '97 Wide Glide (stock swingarm) I had to:

* cut the fender horns and re-weld them wider
* Softail fender
* Bought a 18" x 5.5" wheel and spacers
* Narrower drive belt (3/4")
* Appropriate fitting backrest
* HD Tri-Bar LED tailight

Stock tire was a 130...had gone to a 150, but needed a narrower belt (1 1/8" vs. 1 1/4" OEM) to fit.
