Like I said though, I'm picking you're full of shit instead.

(And yes, I tend to take fuckwits turning bikes into death traps, a little personally).

Still not going to let you have it

Or a pic when it lets go and puts you in A&E

Though as per most of the urban potato tractors in Aus the center of the tire will be cut to the carcass in no time with completely fresh edges

Now this has me interested.

i went to Dunlops tyre site and searched HD's appears they fit 150's to 3 inch rims 160 to 4-4.5

I tried to find your ride but it was not featured so I trolled some FFSXRFUCK HD model number (some of these are wild) and gave up searching for a 180. I was hoping to see the rim width recommended by Dunlop. I just don't know my HD models well enough.

I did find on one forum there was a HD 180 kit (up from a 160) that included the tyre and various brackets to move items further out to clear the fatter tyre. No record of rim width.

Go on - post the picture.

wower so much disagreement / discontent!.. maybe I should reconsider. Let me seek 2nd opinion from 2 different Harley and Dunlop dealers. might consider wider outer rim and re-lace the spokes, Thanks guys for steering me into right direction. Hard to believe what I'm seeing in front me though & advise I was given from HD & dunlop! anyway, thanks guys. Just trying to be a safe rider out there! Will post a before and after photo.

Remember ... she thinks the 20 year old tires on her honda are perfectly fine. Still got plenty of tread left ...

You were told it was a fucking retarded idea and went ahead and did it anyway.

You deserve what you get.

As long as he keeps it in Sydney ... we won't have to worry about him on NZ roads.

And who knows ... he might start a trend ...

Hopefully ... only in Aussie ...

Yeah the bikes based in Sydney. I am willing to put wider rim if I have to. Just don't need to be nasty like katman the fuckwit.
Yeah im kiwi mate raised in auckland and consider NZ home where in the world i am. I alternate half a year between syd and auk for business.
I can tell you katman wouldve been shot by now if he was here now.

Sucked in a bit! Not completely tho, the fuckwit still hasn't seen one done & probably thinks its physically impossible or whatever the justification he will now come with.!

He has a point though......you asked for advice, then promptly ignored it and did what you wanted to.....against all that advice.....just sayin
