I run a 120/70-21 Metzler ME880 on my Heritage and had to remove the fender tip lamp socket. Other than that, it clears fine on my 3.5" wheel.

yeah i dont think ill have that option with a fat boy fender, i know heritage fenders have more room then a fb,
think ill get the fender re locator's there cheap enough and come in black or chrome
move the fender up a inch or might run no fender have to see how it looks.
and changing rims will give the time to strip and polish my lowers,or paint them black.
and i have a progressive kit for the front i have to get installed have to lower the front least a inch to compensate the bigger rim and tire

should keep me biz this winter for a bit lol

If you want to go cheap get a Shinko. They dont last crazy long but seem to at least be a quality tire. Just my 2 cents anyway...

That's what I ran. But I put enough miles on my bike that I tried something that'll last a little longer this time. I've always liked Shinkos on a bike that doesn't get a lot of miles on it though. That way I have a chance to wear them out before they dry rot LOL
