I have ridden alot of different size rear tires and when I got my train with 200 I had no problems wit any handling but I do feel more comfortable with a bigger tire. Feels like there is more supporting me than a thin bicycle tire. Plus there is a bigger contact patch for road surface. IMO go with the 200.

Really?. .... Pfft
The reality is the bikes physical size and geometry will contribute way more than the rear tire
As a few have said, it's a Harley not a Ducati
I can punt my train around twisties as quick as any other softail and really the rocker is only marginally slower, the primary primary or the pipes will hit way before the cornering limits of the tire come into play..

One of the future mods on my list is the 422's lowering kit, so I was wondering if that could be a cause of the primary scrapping?

I myself, love the fat *** ends and (money being no object) plan to put a 200 on the back of my heritage with a custom round fender (not the squarish fatboy ones).
