The fat tire mod is the coolest-looking impractical mod ever IMO. I classify it with the stretched/lowered sportbikes or lowrider cars. I LOVE the way they look, but I'd hate to be the one ridin' em'.

I looked at their site and they look nice. I really like the 200 on the '07 Fatboy. But, I have to be honest and say that it does not too much wider than the 160 Metzler ME 880 that I have on my '05 Custom now. I would be curious to see them side by side. I also want to add that the 160 looks much better than the stock tire. Just my $.02.

200 mm is the best look for a sporty, forget twisty riding that's out the window, more of a blvd crusier after the mod.
