Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech what size can we run on the front??

Hey guys can anyone tell me what the fattest front tire we can run on our bikes is with the stock width rim?Any help would be great!Thanks ahead of time......

If you leave the stock fender on you can fit a 120/90. However, I have heard some riders say the 120/90 rubbed the fender bracket at high speeds, so they trimmed the bracket to solve the problem. I have a 120/90 on the front of my "cruiser" America, but I have Honda fender with plenty of room. On my "bruiser" America I have a 150/80-16... Of coarse I had to change the rim and I could never fit a fender.

I would also be interested in finding this out. I don't want to run a front fender though, so I'm not worried about the tire rubbing the fender. Thanks.

i'm pretty sure 'biker' is running a 130/90 on his stock front rim.

his last post on the subject said he'd planned on fabbing a fender.

i dug it - looks mean.

I am about to go a bit bigger on my front tyre, has anyone changed to
AVON VENOM-X 120/90-H18?

I can get a very good deal on the Avons and are interested in getting the front end looking a bit fatter.

Hej Johann!

I've got the 120/90-18 Dunlops. The only close size for whitewalls. However you have to raise the fender a bit.

Hejsan Bengt!

I know! And ****** good looking tyres they are.

I´ve got an offer talking to a friend of mine, he´s going to by new tyres for his car from Avon and get 40% off listed price so i thougt i might go along on the deal

My front is now off the bike to get some Polishing and Crome and i think i will go with a bigger front tyre while i have it apart anyway.

Riding season is getting closer.. sun is shining today and the roads are dry and after beeing to the MC fair in Gothenburg last weekend i am really longing for taking the bike out on the road again
