Just the camera angle.

 

You sure? I noticed that last weekend. Stock tire seems offset or the fender is offset to the exhaust side. Anyone know what that could be? Anyone else notice that on their slim?

 

I took the pic at an angle from the back of my bike. You might be able to make out my shadow. So ya, I think camera angle. But I'll check when I get a chance later today.

You could be right though. Here's a pic of another Slim with a bigger tire and you can notice an offset as well:

 

And another Slim, this one with the stock tire. Also offset:



Took a gander at mine, and you are right. Offset. More space on the exhaust side of the fender.

 

And a Harley stock photo:

 

So... regardless, no clearance issues?
If there were I'm sure you would have found out by now...
I think that tire just looks great, and it's now moving to the top of my to-do list...

/ damn you guys...

 

I've only put about 15 miles in since I got the larger tire, and no clearance issues so far. The HD dealer who installed it for me initially wanted me to sign a waiver that said damage to inner fender or tire could occur. When they took an actual look at the tire and saw it wasn't a big increase (just looks big to the eye) they decided no waiver was necessary.

I'm trying to get in a longer ride today. About 100 miles. If I do, I'll let you know if I encounter any clearance problems. Don't think I will.

It really does fill out the Slim fender nicely and keep the look of the bike intact. And again, I'm really surprised how much nicer the ride feels.

 

Looks nice been thinking of putting a bigger tire on the blackline.... What bulbs are you running in the brake lights?

 

Thanks. Red bulbs inside HD smoked lenses for me.

 

Looks awesome. A few MMs make a big difference. Recently went from a 150 to a 160 on my Softail and was super happy with the new look!
