Dennyyo?

.......... on the 2001 FLSTF fatboy , I don't know , but I doubt it not enough room between the forks . probley a 130 or 140 you'd have to measure to make sure .

klf33 - Do you think the Dunlop 150 (cruizermax) or the Metz 160 woudl fit on your bike with your mods?

I found this photo from 3 years ago with the CruizerMax 150 (white wall) on the rear you can see it fills the whole thing pretty tight, I saw Metz 160 which was the same widtth.. but to be honest with you, I think a skinny bike is supposed to be skinny, I went back to the 150 (Pirelli) and next year 140 , I like the skinny tire with the skinny fenders .. I like my bikes like my women
