What is the widest rear tire size that I can put on my 03 XL ? I am thinking of changing the wheels and would like to go as big as I can. I heard it was a 130 or 140?

Thanks,
Eddie

My 100th Sporty!

The AVON VENOM 140 is about the biggest tire you can put
on a stock sporty up to 2003 model without doing some mods
to swingarm. The 140 only clears by 1/4'', now thats tight. :luvsport

Thanks for the comments on my bike... I have been spending some $$$ on it... I don't really want to make modifications to the swing arm. My plans are to lower the bike, new wheels and of course more chrome.

Thanks!
