I was showing my bud James my new Darkside Cooper on my 1300 VTXC and let him try it out, trying to convert him LOL. My Question have any 1200 HD Sportsters gone darkside if so what size tire. I thought I had read on here somewhere that the belt drive gets in the way of the CT. If anyone knows hook a brotha up. P.S. his ride is an 05 HD 1200 Sporty

The tire guy at the local bike shop told me that there is one older HD spoke rim and an older Suzuki spoke rim that won't take a car tire something about the bead. but other then the width of the tire your friend should be able to mount a 165- 80 - __ __ , and ask around the HD boards for racing tires mounted on stock rims I saw some at the drag strip but didn't get a photo so i couldn't tell you what kind it was.
Good luck
