Default Deuce 180/200 mod question

I am thinking about buying the chrome lower belt guard for my 07 deuce with future plans on going with a 180 or 200 tire in the rear. can anyone tell me if that lower belt guard will still fit down the road when i go with the wider rear tire?

I run a 180 with the upper and lower belt guard on. Plenty of room.

i run 180 and it fits,if you go 200 you will need a narrower belt and pulley and belt guard,i recently put a 18x5.5 on my deuce

I run a 200 metzler and removed both upper and lower belt guard. Lower will not fit. upper would need much trimming

I know there's a lot of info out there but can I mount a SE180 on my stock 2007 Deuce rim without any mods or will I need at least a spacer? Anything else needed?

Thanks.

Thanks,

I was wondering if I still needed a spacer even for the SE180 on a stock 2007 Deuce rim. I actually have a Vulcan spacer in my parts box but if I don't need to clear the belt guard or anything else, I'll skip it.

Nice Deuce BTW!

You can mount a 180 with no problem. This pic is with a 200mm Avon Cobra. I didn't put the guards back on because IMO it looks better.
