140 rear tire on a 2001 dresser
I need new tires and was told that I can put a 140 rear tire (stock is a 130 rear tire). This is about 1/2 inch wider than stock. According to my source, extra spacers can be uses to space the wheel/rim so the drive belt will not rub the sidewall of the rear tire.
Has anyone done this? I think the 140's are already on the newer model dressers.
If you happen to have pics and detailed instructions that would be great.

I'm about 2 hrs away from getting a 140 Metzler put on the rear of my 99. No spacers needed. Here's a link for you. It'll show how big you can go on your model&year bike. http://www.us.metzelermoto.com/tyres...PCFTFYKJOPSFEY

That is exactly what I want to do...plus i need a new front tire as well.
I am going with the metzeler narrow white wall, but was unsure about going with the bigger rear (140) tire.
Let me know how it works out for you. I will get new tires later this week or the first of next week.

This topiccomes upmonthly! I've replaced the stock Dunlop 402 on my '01 FLHR with a 2004-and-up MU 85 Dunlop using the $ 35.00 Pingel Rear Sprocket Spacer at: http://www.pingelonline.com/rear_sprocket_spacer.htm
No other mods required. Probably one of the best "accessories" I bought this year. And the additional stability of the wider tire on the highway - priceless.
