I'm dying to have this done to my 2000 Hugger. How's the ride, does it feel like it robs horsepower? I've got a 1250 kit on it and next year I overhaul everything with new S&S hp parts
nice job the conversion you made on your bike, so i just wanted to know here what do i need to make the same modification other than swing arm? can you tell me some other things and the measurement that i should need to make the 240mm wide tire conversion success because i planned want to use a harley breakout rear wheel. thanks for your help
Hi See this video " Harley Davidson 240 Rear Tyre Conversion 150 Front From The Rear " to see the original rear wheel now fitted to the front with large inverted Ultima forks.
I was wondering if the Iron can have the 240 tyre. You have proven it is possible. Ill be considering it for my Iron too, but would make the front one bigger too then.
nice job! been looking for decent kit/swing arm everywhere, no luck. where do you find spacers for front pulley, rear wheel pulley/disc brake? and longer axel with spacers?
Love the hard work you put in, but if the rear fender have a curvature with the tire left to right would be much nicer, just the personal preference. Thanks for sharing this awesome work!
Brilliant thanks Dude I've had off-road bikes, Gixxers etc but at my age I need something a bit calmer (& my wife wants a Harley), you've just made the Iron look so much cooler. May be in touch to ask some questions.
I wanna change my Honda's tyre from 180 to 190... and I asked about it on a group and all hell broke loose... People were telling me that I'd die if I do that.. and it'll be very unstable... I want my bike to look badass like this one in the video..😍
Tu devrais en fabriquer plusieurs bras oscillant plus large et les commercialisée pour ton compte . ( il y aurait des acheteurs pour ce modèle sportster )

What is that front pulley and doe sit need any kind of bearing? Is that the standard casing you have fitted, just spaced out? I am trying to build a hardtail sporty using that very V Rod Wheel and would appreciate any advice you can give me.
Hi the front pulley is steel and 1" off set, no bearing provided you run the belt no more than 1" off set ! to achieve this the belt will need to be very close to the tyre 3mm is the clearance i have. to do this i used NEW Harley-Davidson V rod 2007 & later Chrome Sprocket Compensator Bowl 40541-05 and slightly packed out the pulley to make the clearance . use washers as axle spacers to start so you can constantly make adjustments. Ps nothing fits ,casings brackets ect all made to fit. Cheers
Right the sprocket / pulleys I was looking at 1.75” Atlas Pulley or a sprocket that states the it is 2.5" wide overall and 2-1/8" to the inside of the teeth. So your saying I need to look at the rear sprocket as well and get it mounted to within 3mm of the tyre, then use a 1” Offset front. Mine is hardtail anyway so everything has to be made. lol How many miles have you got on the clock since you did this mod? Are you on the Sportster Sickness UK Page on Facebook?
They should have made it stock with a fat rear tyre honestly
Looks amazing
this is the best example of the 240 build I've seen yet. Just the example of the jig build on the swing arm is worth the watch. great job.
Heck with the haters, I personally love Sportsters, and this one looks great!
883 😎
Mate I just bough iron 883 and this is what I want 🏍🏍🥺🥺
Look bad ass
i'd ride and pay this guy to do it on my sportster lol
Looks badass!!! Who cares what idiots say about it being a fad, I doubt they even own a bike
Looks terrible!!! Who cares what idiots say about it being badass, I doubt they even own a bike
freaking beautiful. does justice to the matte black. well done
Cool bike & lovely song 🤘
Nice job!! I like the idea of plywood with hole for wheel. Great thinking. Looks nice on bike.
It’s 2022 and this is how you Dream it years before…. Love it…
Very nice , is there anywhere I can order a kit ?

Looking so much better. Damm...License plate are bigger than in Poland. And I thought that my license plate is shitty and big.
It was always the narrow rear tyre why i never owned a sporty but this fat rear looks amazing

The plywood layout jig is brilliant.
I was thinking the same. MacGyver would be proud!!
Very cool thats what you call fabtrication skill and mechanical genius certainly cheaper than a ricks kit! !awesome job Mike

excellent job fantastic. i am from mexico and always wanto to do this to may sporster forty eight.. its great
great vid/song.....hey how much for all the parts, also, is cutting the swing arm safe?
What did you do for a longer swingarm pivot bolt?
Bad thinking wider rear tire myself but will just buy wider swingarm

Hi Its up for sale if interested !
That be a weld. lol. Nice customization though. Exactly what I’m lookin to do. Thanks!
Ok , but why do that with a 883 , i really don’t understand... vrods, breakouts , fxdr came with a 240 rear tire... and whey better bikes ....
Nice work bro, is that a vrod wheel.
Nice job bro ;-) how does it handle? Ride safe.
Wow to fact you made your own mods and was still able to keep the belt. 💯 I'll be doing this soon to my 1200
En una dyna súper glide 06 será el mismo procedimiento?
Parabéns, ficou top!
How much did it cost please ??
What’s the cost for this customization?
I absolutely want to throw a wider rear tire on my 48! I think it would really set it off.
necesito una salpicadera de esas amigo, donde la conseguiste ?
Looks great
Telling my bro to do it… l am doing. 280 or 300 to my Breakout
nice job))
Your video still coming in handy
That looks great and ya made it look essy
Looks sick u used the same stock parts 😮
Song annoying i could watch the video
Custon é demais
Any one know the cost of this please
Looks good how's it ride. Been wanting a bigger rear on my 1250 Sportster myself.
That girl looks mean af!
The tire is now almost as wide as that ridiculous license plate.
How about the front tires
Hi, wonderfull work, can you tell us what bran did you choose for that conversion?
thank you
Please tell me he didn't have a smoke machine...
Where do we order parts?
Woooooooowww i take my had off mate !! Well done

Quedo perrona. 😮
Looks stupid lol
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Awesome. You made your sportster handle like a big dog chopper.
I think it would look better if the swing arm was also extended it kinda makes the bike look short

Nice job
Hi mate when u cut the swing arm how did u bolt back the front of the swing to the frame would really appreciate your help
Hi will u feel sluggish on the bike after the big wheel? E.g heavy going
Bit more skill involved than the average spanner wielding amateur has. . But great mod it looks superb. .
The badass ever!!! What about the cornering stability? Did this change enhance that ?
Hi man do u have to cut the frame as far as shock bolts or can i cut it just before shocjlk bolts
Awesome.
I'm gonna buy an Iron 883 & convert it to a 300 rear.
Anyone else think that was his exhaust in the beginning....
Any good tires and rim websites, trying to find good wheels
Why is your license plate the size of a billboard?
Can you do my bike...????? And how much...????
Are you able to install a passenger seat after putting on a 240 or 250 tire?
Yep, same as standard
any parts list? i want to do this on my iron 883.. thanks
Cant go on road without HD clearance
Sir mujhe apni bike ko modify krana h plz guide me....
Looks cool but its a super expensive mod. Looking at a over $2000 (USD)
Music trashed the video. Oh, brighten up that bike before some old lady slams into you.

Very nice video man!

Ps nothing fits ,casings brackets ect all made to fit.

Yeah, can you do the front too?
th-cam.com/video/gpqhG_lGdZ4/w-d-xo.html second half of the vid shows the new front end, the orginal back wheel up front.
Should a fixed those dents on the tank instead
Lovely work wow
good Job!
Беспонтовый мот
I have an 06 883. I love how the tire looks. How does it affect the handling? PlanetX
Nice!
looks horrible
Nice! Sub’d, I’m just starting out also!
Perfect
Why does it smoke so much??
It has a smoke machine beside the bike. :)
