Wide Tire Kit for FatBoy
Hi. I am researching about Wide Tire Kits. I have a FatBoy 2008 that has already stock 200 mm rear tire. I am thinking about a 300 mm rear tire kit. Some kits needs right side transmission but a company (Zeel) has an option that keeps the left transmission and stock parts. Has anyone experience on this? What about riding and turns?

its going to be expensive, you need to do a fair bit of work and the handling is gonna go out the window...
you thought about a 240?

Yes, 240 is an option. Cheaper and the turning probably better. But not atractive as the 300 would be. Specially because my FatBoy already is stock 200 mm tire. So, not that big difference. But surely it is an option.

I would like to know about turns with a 300 rear tire. Only for bike shows? And the 240 / 250 ? Much better to turn than a 300 ?
Also I would like to know how the kit from Zeel Desing works because they say it is left side and does not have an offset.
