I Tested the Fat Tire on My Harley... You Won't Believe What Happened Next!

[@michaelbreaux]

Glad you were able to get it sorted out. Good on Falcons Fury HD for fitting you in same day

[@ridefitnation]

All facts Mike

[@angelvazquez2112]

I went with the 18 inch 180 fat tire on my 2017RG. I did the install myself. I didn’t have any issues. I used the native customs fat tire kit. I went with the big bear choppers 30mm Ohlins cartridge kit for the front and Ohlins rear shocks. I also raised the front and rear suspension 2 inches over stock for ground clearance. I also installed the 124 S&S big bore kit. The bike handles amazing. I can cruise at 100 and it feels like I’m going 60, in the turns the bike feels like it’s on rails. Great job on the color selection

[@ridefitnation]

That’s what I’m talking about Angel. Doing the work by yourself makes you appreciate your bike so much more. Thanks for sharing the info with us and thank you for the compliment.

[@BeeGee7719]

Did you keep the rear 18” stock?

Yeah the EZ Rushmore is a great kit.

I love seeing what you have been doing to your ride. It’s a cross between art, function and performance while remaining classic. Great eye on the vision. I’ve made changes/additions to my RG based on what I’ve seen you do. Keep it up! Also thanks for the motivation to keep my workouts going stronger too!

[@ridefitnation]

WOW! Thank you for those words Roy. Send me some pics of what you did so far. [e-mail]

[@thomasreyes2857]

Can you explain to all the good people out there what the function is with a bigger tire like that on a motorcycle 😂😂😂😂😂

[@royrnc]

@@thomasreyes2857 to all the good people and even you…1) better traction because there is more surface area contact on the ground 2) more protection against slipping on wet roads 3) healthier absorption of bumps in the road ie. smoother ride 4) extra effective handling of bigger/more powerful engines due to better distribution of power 5) it’s his ride and he can do whatever he wants to it so unless you are paying his bills what does it matter to you?

[@ridefitnation]

@@royrnc You nailed it all. I love it when people try to plaster their own points of view as it's written by God. I already told him he was wrong yet he still wants to continue.

[@dcdell2008]

I just completed my Fat Front Tire kit project on my 2021 RGS, kit was from Arlen Ness and so far so good, the bike tracked true straight like an arrow true @80MPH with no unintended leaning to either right or left and I was pleasantly surprised, no vibration or any anomalies, I may consider Ride-On Motorcycle Tire Balancer in the future...and like you, it was all DIY and the best past was overall cost was about $2700 with an 18x5.5x180...about the only DTC codes/warning lights that I'm getting is the TPMS is missing for the front since my bike has RDRS and I just need to have the local HD service reflash my new TPMS to the BCM...thanks for sharing
