    Hey fellas, has anyone else here with stingers on their Fatbob fitted a 200 rear. Second question, I have to replace my dunlops that came with the stingers and it looks like Metzlers are the go?

    Also mine is a 2012 just in case the later bikes changed the rear guard, looks like the 2014 is diffrent.

    Cheers

    I only ever used the dunlops, not sure you will get a 200 on it with out some clearance issues. Just make sure the Metz's are the same width and profile

    Ok so I went the Metz with 200 rear its a slight lower profile 50 instear of 55. So the clearance is real skinny where the belt guard is but Con at Brisbane Motorcycle Tyres runs the same on his bob and has had no issues.

    Bike handles very diffrent and feels like its stuck to the road IE back off and its lost a bit of the roll on effect, strange thing to feel but anyway ill let you know how they go.

    I have seen a 200 dunlop on 2012/13fatbob with stingers sitting in the show room. I hated the dunlop on the rear as it was usless in the wet as it would aquaplane in the puddles. Have Pirelli night dragon at the moment which is shit loads better wet and dry. Not sure about milage yet.
