I love the ride on my Fatty, but I have to say...I'm already installing my 3rd rear tire this weekend and I've only got 11K miles on the bike! They don't last very long.

I've got 15k on my first tire. What kind of riding are you doing to be on your third?

Forgot, my Deuce with the 180 handles great, maybe you'll get some feed back on the 200. As you can see, the 200 kits are kinda pricey.

you dont need a 200 kit, get a 18x5.5 wheel to suit, put a narrower belt and pulley on from an 06 nightrain and your good to go! deuce guard will take a 200!
i have that wheel on my bike but running a 180 at the moment, may or may not go 200 later, i have an aftermarket 2 piece pulley on now,i can get the inside machined down and get 06 pulley if i feel up to changing pulley on next tyre change!

I put a 200 with an18x5.5 wheel on a couple years ago and I really like the ride. Felt weird the first ride because it took a little more effort to get on edge of tire on turns. The ride is much softer, smoother. I definitely recommend.
