06 cartire success! Empty 06 cartire success!

At first I tried a 1920s Ford car racing tire. Got it from Coker tire. Great folks, bad choice of tire. Had to grind away a bit of my swing arm to make it fit. Then I got the Nankang 165/45/17. Rode in the rain today and it performed very well.

Looks like its on a 2006 Dyna Glide. How much of the swing arm had to be ground off?

Yeah it is a 2006 Dyna Super Glide. For the 1920s cartire I ground about 1.5 mm on the inside where the top of the tread would rub, it cleared the sides barely. The Nankang has no problems, fits great.

What size MC tire came on the bike from the factory? I'm looking for a CT that'll fit my 07 Ultra

Thanks
