Default 150/16 Front Tire

Anyone running a 150/16 front tire? I know a lot of guys are going tall and skinny and I'm thinking short and beefy.

Pic's would be great!

I put a 150/16 Dunlop on the front of my '02 FatBoy a while back after removing the front fender. I was going for the bobber look. Also put the rubber gators from the Nightster on the forks. I loved the look. Other than a very slight decrease in the quickness of steering "turn-in", there was no difference in handling. Stock front fenders will not fit over the 150 though.

I think I should be ok fitting the 150/16 tire under the FLHX fender.

I went with the 140 I wasn't sure the 150 would fit.
I do have a 150 on the rear though, it mounted with no problems.

You sure? That's a big difference from the 130.

Has anyone gone with a wider front tire that can talk about fitment issues with stock FL fenders?

I think a 150 all shoved up under an FL front fender would look bad azz!!
And if it won't fit then just split the fender, weld in a filler strip and then narrow the mounts, not really that big of a deal.
