GOT A  150 (DUNLOP K591) ON MINE, BOUGHT THE BIKE WITH IT INSTALLED ALREADY, THE GUY SAID HE HAD IT DONE AT THE DEALER WITH SOME SHIMS TO THE LIMIT OF SPREADING THE SWING ARM, ALTHOUGH THE TIRE'S WIDEST EDGE SLIGHTLY RUBS THE ON THE DRIVE BELT THERE'S NO PROBLEM AT ALL WITH THE RIG,  
THERE'S A GUY AT EBAY WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE FIGURED A WASHER SETUP WHICH WILL ALLOW A 150 TIRE ON ROAD KINGS, CHECK IT OUT, MY BIKE LOOKS GREAT.

Try D&M Customs.  They have fat tire kits for dressers.
