Very nice FL DEUCE!

Thanks for the info.

I just spotted a thread where they say there is a Pirelli 17" 180/60 Night Dragon available. Has anyone mounted one of these on a stock Deuce rear rim without any mods? I'd rather just buy the rubber and have my install guy slap them on without any hassles/explaining what to do. I've already got a Dunlop E3 for upfront and a SE180 for the rear waiting in my garage (bought a while ago) for my next tire swap (soon) but am thinking about considering a pair of Pirelli Night Dragons now.

I run a 200 on mine and had to remove upper and lower and had to grind the tabs off the swingarm also to fit the 200.

My 200 metzler with 5.5 spoke wheel fit in stock 01 swingarm with no mods to swingarm what so ever. Only change in stock fender was to remove 2 metal brackets.
Can't see your pic.

I am running a 200 Avon with stock swingarm, Renegade smoothie and hardware all from DM Customs. Fender is totally gutted, clearance is 1 sheet of paper.

Put an 18x5.5 wheel and 200mm tire on mine.
Used narrow belt/pulley and upper/lower belt guards that fit 06-up night train/STC

I love the tread pattern and the smoothness of the ride with the Avons over those stock HD Dunlops.

Just to make sure I understand...I'm new to HD's and just got a Deuce 2 weeks ago. There is a SE 180 that will fit the stock rim, but regualr 180's will not? So I have to get the SE tire from the dealer correct? What about a 170?
