We have a 180 kit for the 2007 baggers which requires a new fender, swingarm, 18 x5.5" wheel, and other misc parts. There is a lot of work involved to go fat on the older baggers.

Went with the 19" on the front though.
Phil at Hog Pro is great to deal with!
It all fits and rides like it was meant to be there!
No surprises at all.
Love em'
How do you like the 19" front? I have a lot of people ask me how it handles on the baggers but I don't have a lot of feedback on that size.

The 19" front is incredible. I like the looks and (to me anyway) it just seems proportional to the 17" rear!
I even ordered a custom made RWD front wrap around style fender to match the radius of a 19" wheel, (most company's make and offer 16", 18" and 21" fenders but the 19's are not that common yet), that I still need to fit and have painted for my machine, but I like the looks of the 120mm tire, 19" front wheel setup so well with the stock fender, that the new fender is just sitting for now!

On the handling etc.....the bike is so nimble even at slow speeds such as turning around in the middle of a street or parking lot and even pushing it through the hill country back roads. Of course, the 17 x 6.250" rear and 200 mm tire contributes to that overall feeling too I'm sure.
I have found myself doing 15 mph faster riding through some of those hill country roads than I even do on my Dyna. The machine just feels right cruising along on those back roads at 85 mph (in all fairness, part of that is the new Road Glide itself).
My 07 Ultra that has the same style 18" Lemans wheels and tires (18" x 4.250" rear and the 18 x 3.5" front) and are not even in the same league as this 2010 Road Glide set up.
I do know that the frames are different and that I am comparing two different machines, but I rode the RG with the stock wheels and tires right before I brought it back home and made the switch, and went out and rode it again. I gave it about 75 - 100 miles of easy riding to break in the rotors and wear the coating off the tires before pushing it.
In my opinion, it's the best ride I have ever had on any of my machines yet.
I can almost tell the difference in smoothness of the ride on rough roads and it is barely noticible over the stock size wheels and tires that come on the 2010 Street Glide and Road Glide models, like I said......barely, not enough to really even mention it.

Now, if you are replacing a 16" or even 17" from a Road King or other touring model, there will be even more of a difference in the ride smothness on rough roads.
Of course, that is to be expected.
I do have a 19" setup on my 2010 Road King as well and just going from the 17" to the 19" was more noticible than the change on the Road Glide was.
Clear as mud?
As soon as I can swing it, I'll be looking for the same setup on the Road King (maybe a different style wheel though!).

I hope this helps.
Ride Safe everyone

Don't know the exact size, but I am running a 17" with a 200mm with no issues. I didn't want the added height the 18" was going to give me plus from what I understand most dealers carry the 17" tire in stock where others don't carry the 18".

Default 200 rear wheel on 2011 SG

Does anyone know if I can run a 200 rear tire on my stock 2011 streetglide as opposed to a 180? I'm changing to an 18" rear HD Anarchy Chrome Wheel to match my front, however was wondering if I can go to the 200 instead of 180. Thanks, Vin

you can; I had the 200 on my 09 RG but had some wobble issues above 85mph--went back to a 180 -- wasted $300 or so on the tire and install -- if going with a 200 better to opt for the 17 wheel

if you go 200 in the rear you be best served by a 17 inch wheel
