how fat of a rear tire can i put on my 01 night train w/ standard swingarm? thx

 

180 without cutting the frame horns off and a new fender that goes outside of the frame horns. A 200 if you cut the frame horns off and use a strutless fender. 150 if you change the nuts to jam nuts under the fender.

 

have you done this or is your reply from referenced material. i am looking to put a 200 on the rear of my 02 nt and dont want spend the cost of a new bike on doing it. just wondering. looking for all info i can get on this subject. thx

 

I've done several of them including my own!

looks ****, do i have to buy a kit or can it be done right with just a few parts? i see kits to put 200 tire on stock swing arm using chain then i hear others say nope 180 is the biggest. i really like the looks of the 200 but dont want to spend a fortune doing it. i looked at new night tains today and they are not badly priced but as it stands, i am only into my bike for 7000 so long story short, i want to do it right as cheap as poss.

I used a 1 1/8" belt on the 180 and I'd use the new narrow belt if I went with a 200.

You want to do this for cheap? Use a 180, this will retain your belt, pulley and rotor. You will need a wheel, tire and fender. If your semi handy in the shop you can split your fender and widen it if not you'll need a fender. You will need to make/cut/turn a set of wheel spacers as the wheel has to be center of the frame horns (HD's are not centered).

 

i am kicking it around, got a guy interested in trading 250 kit for a custom frame and 300 wheel and tire i have. thanx for the info. mitch[8D]
