I ride an '01 FXSTDI and am considering/wanting to put a wider tire on the rear. Does anyone know why I can't just go from a 160/70 17 series to the 180/70 17 size tire without putting on the wide tire kit that Harley offers? It seem that if the tire is already centered then adding a tire that fits in the fender would not need a special kit. What's wrong with my logic?

Can any one give me some tips I never had spoked wheels before is there any products or tools out there to make it easier or that works really good on the spokes. Thanx for the help

ok everything is running fine with stage ONE (02wide glide carb)
I used an ol' reliable CV off a sporty that is set up for a thunder jet.
I changed the bowls but thinking about changing them back to see if the thunder will even be worth the while will the carb/stock heads "pull" in even more with the thunderjet to even mess with it ? or will just run rich though when ya punch it anyone messed with em' to find out?...... it should help me after the port-n-polish headwork I am gonna get done,in the meantime was just gonna mess around,not in the market though of flooding out the rings any more than I into running it too lean and cooking it
Just gotta tinker with it!! if I end up with 1hp per cubic inch as it should be I'll be done. 88 is...
