Always liked the look of the Fat Bob front tire.

Harley Specs say it's a 130/90B16 67H

How easy would it be to do to a Warrior?

I'd like to have a fat tire like the HD photo or the HD Iron sportster. Would you need a new rim?

I've always been told that the wide front tires find the cracks in the road easier, as backwards as that sounds.

yeah, they drive like a dog. For some reason I don't think you can go very large at all before rubbing the forks, etc. Do you see how wide those triple clamps are in that Phat-Tyre pic?
