    Hi , I have a 1988 softail with 18" carriage works wheels with metizler130/80 rear tyre. I want to go a wider rear wheel without changing to much of the configeration. The 88 has a very wide belt which currently cleares the rear tyre by about 10mm . if there are any techsperts out there I would like to hear from them with suggestions.

    if you go to chain drive you could prolly fit a 150 if it will fit the rim.
