Max- tire size for FLHX (basicly a 06 EG

(1/3) > >>

  Howdy All,   Was wondering what size tire I could upgrade to. Bike came with a 140 so I'm wondering if a 150 will fit with no problems or changes. My 02 road king came with a 130 and I was able to run a 140 with no problems. So, my brain says yeah you can go up one tire size.
    My other brain says, why not ask those that probably know......( Maximum rear tire size for 06 screamin street glide ) Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jon

I know 2 people who put a 150 on an FLH and in both cases the seat bolt cut a groove in the tire.  Yeah, I know that you could use a shorter bolt but I don't want the hassle...

hd-dude:
They must have been using a long bolt [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

The 150 will fit.

Thanks Jim, I heard I could run a 150, so with your input I think I'll go for it. Gonna have the dealer in Atlanta do it when we ship them back there for ride. Do you think thats a good idea or not? Also wondering if I should try a different tire than what MoCo uses, what do you run?
    Oh, Ernie, thanks for input also..... I guess I'll go  with the mekinic's opinion. Thanks all, Jon
