What is the size of the stock rear tire? is it a 140/90 16? Also what would be the biggest rear tire that would fit w/ out any mods? I'm looking at a 150/80 16 & i'm wondering if that would fit? Thanks

Stock is a 140. You can fit a 150 from a few different brands. If you get a spacer from cyclevisions.com you can run any 150 you want. I think they get $50 or so for the spacer. Keep in mind a 150 sometimes has a lower weight carrying capacity.
The 150 is right on the edge. I have a 150/80 Metz on my Electra Glide Classic, and have near 5000 miles on it. No problems so far. I do however, ride solo most of the time. I really checked it out with my dealer before ordering the tire. If you look at the bike, the chances of the rear tire carrying 760 pounds on an 800 pound bike are pretty nil. Look at the load distrubition. Others have done it as well.
Same here geez, have gone through a bunch of 150's on my 05 EGC. They don't last like they used to before the build.
