I just put a 150 (Avon) on the back of mine without any problems at all.

The 140 was stock on my SECU2.

Welcome, Eagle Rider, from one 'Bama boy to another!!

You've got a 130 now, right?  I've read that the 140 will fit, but the 150 will not.  One of the places that sells wheels/tires, like HogPro would know for sure, as they fit this kind of thing all the time.

Eagle,

I had a 130 from the factory on my old 04 RKC which was replaced by a Metz 140.  When that one wore out I had a Metz 150 installed.  I had heard that it might or might not require trimming the belt guard and/or putting shims in but the installation didn't require either. I've read on various forums that the frames have significant variance in what width tires each will accommodate (imagine HD components having significant variances! ;D).

Don't know if this helps at all.

  It depends on what brand of tire you are running as actual widths vary for a given size between different manufacturers.  You can run a 140 Dunlop like the '04-and-later touring bikes, but you'll have to trim the rubber flap and metal strap on the back side of the lower belt guard.  If you ride where you encounter a lot of loose stone or other abrasive road debris, you may not want to do this.
