I'm looking for a new reartire but one question popped into my head. What is the widest tire I could throw on my bike? Its a '02 883R. Any help would be appreciated!

 

I think that up to 03 883R used a 130 as stock and if thats the case the max is a Metzler 140 as they run just a tad narrower as far as 140s go.

 

A 140 is it unless you want to spendsome money. You can get a 150 on there if you contact Zippers Performanceand get one of there chain drive conversions. I have one it works fine.

 

Yep, 140 metzleris the max without other mods. I helped a buddy of mine that has an 02 883 custom with this. That was as wide as we could get to work. Dunlop, Avon, any other...130 is probably gonna be the max. That was a custom, I'm not familiar with how much difference there is in the custom and Roadster from that generation of Sportys
