Yeah it was signed by WillieG, Joey D, and Jeezus. Which is ironic as they're all dead.

That website shows that Harley use a 5" rim for the 180/70-16. Their tyre chart also shows 5" as the minimum.

It will be interesting to see the screenshots from HD and Dunlop.

Time for another silly question of the day that I haven't been able to get a straight answer from the dealer.. or anyone..
I am looking into modding rear end of my bike and wanted to first establish what size would be the widest tyre my 3 inch rear rim will take.

Currently it has factory 150 tyre installed.

Thank you look forward to your experience and knowledge.

i'm experienced, this is my RF900

Oh he's coming back, it's just that he's riding back on Dads Harley, so it will take some time........

You've implicated spokes people from HD and Dunlop as supporting your ridiculous idea.

Should I point an actual representative of HD or Dunlop towards this thread?

Yes do it!!!
