I posted on here a while ago about this and found someone who'd done it, but I'm wondering if else has had a go at putting a wider 17" front rim on a 2006> Dyna with a fatter front tire without changing the triple trees.

I'm still planning on doing this on my FXDB when cashflow permits, probably with a second hand Dyna rear rim laced to the standard hub and an adapted Fat Bob front fender. The other option might be a Vrod front fender but I've not seen anyone put one of those on a Dyna yet.

Anybody help? Links or pictures or advice appreciated.

 

i have both bud... i have a fat bob fender i custom made for my bob... $65 if you want to buy it... and i have a 120/19 front tire with about 1200 miles on it ill sell for $50
i have completely changed up my front end this winter so i was going to ebay them... but if you are intrested here is some info on them
and pics
i have modded the fender to be a tight wrap on the tire... here are some pics










you can see theat 120 really fills that

 

why a 17" wheel ?

 

Because I like the look of same size wheels front and back and the rear is 17".

 

Thanks for the offer, your bike looks great that way, what did you change it to? I love the way that fender really hugs the tire.

I'm kind of committed to the 17" now though as I want same diameter rims front and rear, probably with a Fat Boy 140/70 front tire (if it'll fit between the sliders. Once that's done I'll get the fender modded to fit. Do you know if anyone's done this, or used a Vrod fender on a dyna?

 

the v rod fender will wrap a 120 not a 140 same with the lid for a fat bob that is why i used a fat bob lid and made new brackets to support it... for a 140 you will have to buy a custom fender (just got a fiberglass one for a customer was $255 shipped (not painted or primed)

 

a 140 will fit the stock sliders, V-Rod fender, done that pics are on my other pc

 

you put a 140 under a V rod fender?! how... i would love to see some pics... i could not find a way to make it fit! did you use the 21 wheel? what ring?

 

no, those are 2 different statement, I've got a friend who has a 140 tire on a 16" rim, and I've got a Vrod fender, both are possible, donno if they are possible together

 

oooh oh ok... i was baffeled i tried the v rod fender with a 140 was not even close ha ha ha ha cool man i miss understood
