I'm about to replace my rear wheel and tire on my 2002 Fatboy. Stock is 130 and I've read many people put a 150 tire on the 3" rims, all they have to do is to grind or reverse the fender studs. Now, what is the advantage of a wider vs. narrower tire on the rear, besides look? Which lasts longer, which is better for cornering etc?
If someone has info on characteristics of different front tire sizes, that's great to know too
I just did this swap on my '02 Fatboy, the 150 fit with just trimming the bolts and still handles pretty much the same. I put a bobber rear fender and preferred the look of the 150 over the 130.

Which tire did you use? I'm going with Dunlop American Elite.
