When I bought my 94 dyna it had a 130 tyre fitted the profile of that particular tyre was such that it fouled the belt previous owner had spaced the rear pulley by 14 which caused the belt to run out of line and put extra strain on the outer edge of the front pulley so the main shaft oil seal failed and the front pulley lock plate also failed Although a fat rear tyre can look good to some people the bike was designed to have a specific size and profile of tyre fitted to correctly fit a wider rear tyre the whole bike needs to be redesigned if it is to work correctly The simple act of changing tyre type from cross ply to radial on a similar size can cause clearance problems if you plan to enjoy your bike on the road best to stay within the manufacturers guides However if you want to have something pretty to look at Brian. I was much stronger back then and I Just grabbed the fender on each side and Spread open the distance needed. The stock belt with that 150 tire had about an 18 or less and worked fine.
