180 would be fine. where did harley come up with a 155 mm tire

 

Just the simple fact that the front tire is fatter than the rear.... Think about it....
Why The Hell would they do that??
Otherwise its nice, and def better lookin up close in person.

IMO, should have chrome spoked wheels, but I guess black is what the "people" want now a days....

 

Totally agree , having a rear tyre that is thinner than the front is dam stupid, at least the same size, if you were looking for a donor bike for a 250 heartland, it's probably a better choice than the fatboy, heartland kit, rear wired wheel, new pipe away you go, by keeping the front wired keeps the cost down, with a fatboy to heartland you can't really keep the front wheel as nothing would Mach it at the rear, so if a few thousand dollars for a new set of alloys, someone has to speak to Harley re there tire size choices

 

got the vertical tag bracket at the dealership...if i can keep from spending all of my money on other mods i'd like to put a heartland on her, but first i wanna slap a tank lift on with some other small stuff

 

Yeap I bought one back in '99, it was called FatBoy back then



Mimo.

 

Finally got up to 40 today and road my FLS Slim for the first time today and it was great. great handling and loved the power of the 103cu.

Really dosent affect me if u dont like my new harley or not, i love it.

 

If you like it, that's what's important - nothing else really matters.

HD LED lights would look pretty good on it, I think - put them on my silver '11 FLSTC and they are killer.

 

Is the front tire REALLY wider than the rear???? That seems a bit hard to believe, not that it couldn't happen. I think handling would be impacted in a negative way.

 

No.

The front is MT90B16 72H and the rear is MU85B16 77H.

According to my old Metzler catalog, the front is a maximum 136mm wide and the rear is a maximum 143mm wide.

 

Still needs a 240 rear,
