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.
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!
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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 )
They should have made it stock with a fat rear tyre honestly
Looks amazing
It’s 2022 and this is how you Dream it years before…. Love it…
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.
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
Nice job!! I like the idea of plywood with hole for wheel. Great thinking. Looks nice on bike.

Hi Its up for sale if interested !

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
Mate I just bough iron 883 and this is what I want 🏍🏍🥺🥺
Look bad ass
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
Your video still coming in handy
Parabéns, ficou top!
freaking beautiful. does justice to the matte black. well done
Cool bike & lovely song 🤘
Awesome. You made your sportster handle like a big dog chopper.
Very nice , is there anywhere I can order a kit ?
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
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?
That looks great and ya made it look essy
I absolutely want to throw a wider rear tire on my 48! I think it would really set it off.
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'd ride and pay this guy to do it on my sportster lol
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
Bad thinking wider rear tire myself but will just buy wider swingarm
Looking so much better. Damm...License plate are bigger than in Poland. And I thought that my license plate is shitty and big.
Hi, wonderfull work, can you tell us what bran did you choose for that conversion?
thank you
Nice work bro, is that a vrod wheel.
excellent job fantastic. i am from mexico and always wanto to do this to may sporster forty eight.. its great
Looks great from the back but with the short wheel base looks silly from the side you really should have stretched it
It was always the narrow rear tyre why i never owned a sporty but this fat rear looks amazing
How about the front tires
That be a weld. lol. Nice customization though. Exactly what I’m lookin to do. Thanks!

En una dyna súper glide 06 será el mismo procedimiento?
The badass ever!!! What about the cornering stability? Did this change enhance that ?
That girl looks mean af!
Hi will u feel sluggish on the bike after the big wheel? E.g heavy going
What’s the cost for this customization?
Looks sick u used the same stock parts 😮
any parts list? i want to do this on my iron 883.. thanks
Looks good how's it ride. Been wanting a bigger rear on my 1250 Sportster myself.
Hi man do u have to cut the frame as far as shock bolts or can i cut it just before shocjlk bolts
Quedo perrona. 😮

Why is your license plate the size of a billboard?
what soldeing technic did you guys used?
Where do we order parts?
How much did it cost please ??
Nice job bro ;-) how does it handle? Ride safe.
Thats a bad ass bike!
Are you able to install a passenger seat after putting on a 240 or 250 tire?
Yep, same as standard
Mate I just bough iron 883 and this is what I want 🏍🏍🥺🥺
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 ....
necesito una salpicadera de esas amigo, donde la conseguiste ?
Any good tires and rim websites, trying to find good wheels
I think it would look better if the swing arm was also extended it kinda makes the bike look short
I have an 06 883. I love how the tire looks. How does it affect the handling? PlanetX
Looks great
Telling my bro to do it… l am doing. 280 or 300 to my Breakout
Very nice video man!
Custon é demais
Woooooooowww i take my had off mate !! Well done
Nice job
Yeah, can you do the front too?
ruclips.net/video/gpqhG_lGdZ4/видео.html second half of the vid shows the new front end, the orginal back wheel up front.
Cant go on road without HD clearance
Please tell me he didn't have a smoke machine...
How long did the belt last before it broke and had to do a chain conversion? And a clutch conversion too?
The belt runs smooth, rode to the Harley supper ralley in Spain and the super ralley in Czech Republic 2000 miles each ride,no problems
What a bike Nice What cost the bike
What pipes you have on?
Vance and hines short shots
Meu sonho é uma dessa pena que vai sair de linha 😪😥
Lovely work wow
Sir mujhe apni bike ko modify krana h plz guide me....
Why does it smoke so much??
It has a smoke machine beside the bike. :)
Tu devrais en fabriquer plusieurs bras oscillant plus large et les commercialisée pour ton compte . ( il y aurait des acheteurs pour ce modèle sportster )
Any one know the cost of this please
I guess it looks ok
Looks cool but its a super expensive mod. Looking at a over $2000 (USD)
I'm gonna buy an Iron 883 & convert it to a 300 rear.
Awesome.
Anyone else think that was his exhaust in the beginning....
Can you do my bike...????? And how much...????
what is the name of this song?
The tire is now almost as wide as that ridiculous license plate.
Bit more skill involved than the average spanner wielding amateur has. . But great mod it looks superb. .
nice job))
Perfect
good Job!
🏍 👍
Noice
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nice!
Nice! Sub’d, I’m just starting out also!
Fantastic^^

Turn the music off, I'd rather hear the bike, great lookin.
