Define 'oversizing'?!?

If you're referring going to the "Darkside" (car tire) or doing an 1800 Rear- "FOTS Mod", the VTXOA board has many many threads about doing just that. Unfortunately there is a limit on what you can do with the stock rear rim...You can do up to a 200 Metz or a 190 Dunnie. I'm going to change to the Metz tires in May after one last long trip which will give me about 14K on this set.

BTW - Honda VTX Owners and check out the 1300 boards...
