I'm looking into tires already because I've read here we get half the distance out of the rear tire than I was used to on my old Harley. Will a 205 fit back there? I had one on my road glide and loved it but I've seen 200 thrown around a bit and wanted to make sure the 205 will fit. Thanks as always.

A 205 will fit but you have to let the air out to fit it then re-inflate it when mounted on your bike.

The plastic piece on the final drive and it is not replaceable if you break it the final drive has to be replaced.so when you deflate the tire.
