Default Nightster Fat tire

Has anyone installed a fat tire kit on the Nightster or any other bike. I know that it will affect the handling of the bike, but wondering how much. I have seen a couple nightsters with a 250 rear, they look awesome, but is it worth it?

Yes, it affects handling quite a bit. If you like having a Sportster to carve up the canyons and throttle the twisties.....a 250 tire is NOT for you. Although it is still very rideable, just not up to the limits that you may be used to.
Is it worth it??? That depends on your preferences. For me, it was worth every penny and every minute of work doing it! I love it!

In another Forum I've seen two individuals put 16" tires on the front. That even looks pretty cool.
