RE: Largest Rear Tire
I agree with you on the wide rear tires, Its all out of proportion and overkill. On a funny note though, my wifes 2004 883 has more rear tire than my Roadking. Wider tires cost more, ride rougher, and with a contact patch of 3" at best, your wasting alot of rubber with each tire. However, If youre out for eye candy and bling, a wide tire looks great.

You know just my opinion, but those big fat tires are very much a result of all the choppers shows out there today...i personally the old school thin look...just a thought....especially on a Sporty???

The difference between the stock 130mm and a 150mm is only an inch.
Try this link for a 180mm wide tire kit.

If your sporty has a 130 tire on it like mine does, I was told by many aftermarket techs, that the biggest tire you can go up to is a 140. Anything bigger would rub or not fit. The 04 and 05 models have a complete different design in the rear and thus can accomidate the wider 150 tire.
