My father needs a new tire for his fatty its a 2000, the rear tire is narrower then the front and would like to fatten it up a bit.........so my ?, wut is the biggest size he can go on the rear of a 2000 fatty i dont know the stock size but that is wuts on there...........he doesent want to do any frame mods or anything.......thanx in advance

 

I've put a 140mm Conti milestone on'em. Some manufacturers have a wider crown than others and can rub on the belt. I believe Zippers sells a kit to go to a 150mm can't remember for sure.

 

so with no mods the 140 will fit?............what is the stock size anyhow??.........yhanks steve...........another thing is wut tire to go with cuz he will want one that lasts the longest but has better grip on the road..........im getting him this for christmas so would like to have someone chime in who has one on there bike now with no problems

 

Rear more narrow than front?

 

150 rear without mods.
Front and rear should be the same size on that 2000 fatty unless it was changed out after purchase. Two 130's stock.

 

so the 150 with the stock fender will fit??...........im not sure if the tire is smaller but looks like the front is wider.........thanks bigjoe.................

 

I've never tried a 150mm on a 2000'. But there are some manufacturers 140mm tires that are a little wider than other 140mm tires and can rub on your belt.

 

140 Metzeler with no problems on my 2000 and looks like it may have room for a 150. It would be very difficult to un-bolt bags with a 150.

 

hey keefer,...is that the 140/80/16???......wut is the rim size on a 2000.......thanks............

 

almost always can go +1 and be safe...
