Need to put a new set of tires on my scooter and was wondering if anyone has tried to go to a wider 140 on their bagger instead of the stock 130's ?????

 

tried to put a 140 on mine wouldnt work, the newer ones have a 140. im guessing with a bit of spacer work it could be done but i didnt have time.

 

PM and RC Components say you can put a 140 wheel on back (i think on 2002-up models). I got PM Vader wheels in 4,25 x 18 for the rear with Metezeler tires , but have not put them on yet. Will be doing it soon and let you know, but i think if PM says it is ok then there shouldn't be a problem.

I have a 140 on the rear of my o3 ULTRA WITH NO PROBLEMS.

 

I wouldn't mess with the 140 on the front, but you can put up to a 150 on the rear.

 

Thanks guy's i think i might try the metz 880's and put a 140 on just the rear. I guess it wont mess with the handling of the bike.

rear sprocket spacer-part #62051
fits 2000-2003 flh's
go from a 130 back tire to a 142 $35.95us

3 of us have used this part and it works great
no charge for install at dealer when new tire was put on

 

I have a 140 18 on the back. The ride is great.

 

I have wore out 2 sets of ME880's (140/90-16) .About 20,000 KM 12,000 miles each set. They fit no problem. Just a little wider and they handle great. Some have said the Metzelers don't last as long as the Dunlops but personally I havn't found that to be true. I like the wet handling better.

 

I have Avon 130/70/18 front and 150/70/18 rear on an '06.

No clearance issues on the rear.
