I am still kinda new to the bike world. I have a 04 Fatboy and now that it is payed off in full i wanna do alittle modifications.

1.) What is the wides size tire I can go with on the back without changing fenders. I was going to do a fat tire kit but changed my mind. A buddy told me it would look good with like a 16" wheel on the back and 21" wheel on the front. What are the sizes I could do this with the bike sitting stock.

2.) I wanna do some foward controls. ( beleive thats right). I am 6"4 and i wanna be able to stretch out just alittle more.

3.) I may also go with a set of ape hangers..not sure yet.

That's my bike.

I wanna get away from the solid wheels into something alittle differant.

Thanks to all who reply and sorry for the newb questions.

Hi, I have a 99 Fatboy. I have drag bars on mine & like them better than the stock bars.

My personal preference as I'm 5' 9. I turn with my elbows instead of my shoulders. Dave

150 is the widest but very tight.

if you like the floor boards go with kuryaken mark IV they extend past the floor boards for the reach you are looking for.

The bars are a personal preference..

If you change the front wheel to a 21" the fender won't fit , at the least you'l have to raise it up and the contour wont fit quite right. I don't like the solid front wheel either, I replaced it with a 9-spoke glide wheel but I had to have the brake rotor mounting surface cut back so it would aline with the caliper.
