wide tire kit for 2008 nightster?

[andrew9791]

Does anyone know if there is a wide tire kit out for the nightster. Maybe around 240?

[Kainam]

Yes, there are several of them.

IMHO, I think you'll find that they cost a ton of money,
and ruin the bike's handling, performance and gas mileage.
Strictly a cosmetic mod with severe negative impact
on the practical use of the bike.


There something a wise old guy at a HD parts counter told me 30 years ago,
"You know what I'd do with that bike if it was mine? RIDE IT! Nothin' else."

"You know what I'd do with that bike if it was mine? RIDE IT! Nothin' else."

Very wise words.

Wide tire kits for a sportster (nightster) start at about 1500.00. If you want a 240 rear that will be for looks or if you are drag racing the bike. The nightster of the showroom floor handles great. I have an 09 and the most I thought about was maybe a 180 but getting to wide will probably kill you corner handling. Thats why you could get a v-rod or a softail rocker they both come with 240's

Wow, they are pretty expensive.

[09 blackthunder]

They are expensive because all the parts you have change.
