Going from stock to 200 rear tire?????

[BigMeyer]

I went to order new tires and I was thinking of bumping up to the 200 on the rear and was told I couldn't without a widening kit and fender mod's? I thought I had seen on here where I wouldn't have to. I ended up going to a 180. Price was good and I like the guys at Kamakozie Cycles, but was taken back by the difference. Anyone switched from stock to a 200?

Check with vegascruiser at www.sincityxriders.com (http://www.sincityxriders.com) he has a 200 on and no mods to rear as far as I know

Have the 200 on mine. I trimmed the inner fender rail just for clearance. I also have 11" shocks, so my fender sits lower. If you dont have 11"ers, you could get away with a 200 with no work whatsoever.

Just to make sure we are all on the same page....remember that BigMeyer rides a 1300 C model. Of course...I don't know if that matters or not...just thought I would point it out.

Did you change out the front tire as well? just curious how about this subject myself.

shouldnt matter, fenders are same on 1800 and 1300. wheel sizes may be different tho, i cant remember for sure. i dont believe anything is different on the rear other than the gear ratio.

i put on a new front when i put on the rear, the stock tires suck something fierce.

Any chance I could check out your bike sometime. I work in Lawrence.

Sure, I've got a lot goin on during the weekdays, but we can figure something out. I work in Eudora, so meeting up after 5 sometime would probably be the easiest. PM me when you want to meet up

I thought we could put on the 200 without the kit, guess its not an issue now. I ordered the 180X70X15 for the rear so we will see how that looks and works. Thanks for the input!
