Can you put a 180 tire on an 07 RG?

how big can you go if you replace the 07 rear swing arm and fender with an 09 or later swing arm and fender?

Yeah, how big of a tire can you put on a bagger? I mean you can't see the damn tire and it's not going to improve your handling or load capacity. So my question is this...

WHY BOTHER?

That should have been my next question. Will it improve anything.

I don't think you CAN retrofit those parts.
