    Anyone got any suggestions for one of these in Perth so I can fit it to my FXDB?

    I purchased a 200 wide tire and the shop wont fit it to the standard Dyna wheel.

    So your standard rim is 17" x 4.5"? For a 200 wide tyre you really need a 5.5" or 6" wide rim. Might be able to buy a new rim and lace it to your existing hub instead of replacing the whole wheel. That's what I did.

    Why do you want to use a 200 tyre? 
    I can’t think of any positives to it.

    Some guys will explain it better. But your dreaming. Unless the bike was designed for a 200 it will handle like shit [contact patch. Flicking side too side] .  the wider the tyre harder too ride.  But it looks kool riding to get a coffee at starbucks. Hhaa.

    I had an 07 FXDB with 180 on I think 5" solid rim & there was literally 6mm clearance to belt guard Doubt 200 will fit

    Just an FYI - The 200 is already on, but if I could find a rear the correct size it would be preferred.
