If 180 mm is wide enough see this story about putting 180 mm rear tire without swapping the rear swing

I did almost the same to my 2008 Ultra:All works good

OK almost every one has told me you can't install a 2009 swing arm in a 2002 FLHT. And your right it doesn't just bolt in BUT with a little custom work to the swing arm it fits just fine and i have all the shock travel i need. Then with some machine work to the drive pulley and wheel hub every thing fits just fine. I got all parts to do this work off Ebay at a fraction of the cost.
