you will need an 07 night train belt and pulley! the narrower ones that came out that year to accomodate the 200,you will need the wheel off the 07,as well as the fender and struts,you may have to grind the brake tab a little!
i put an 18x5.5 on my deuce but am only running a 180 at the moment,fits easy,for me to go to 200 i will need the narrower belt and pulley note:the deuce can run a 200 with factory fender, you cannot
