All I've ever wanted is a Fat Tire Bike. I would appreciate any info that would help me find a kit to do this conversion

The only way to do it is to fabricate the swing arm and change the rear brakes to a caliper set up that would be my input.

A 170/80 is about the largest "wide" look tire plus help with lowering the rpm's. I suggest as many others suggested, if you want a certain look go purchase that look and leave the Shadow unmolested for better resale.

yeah there was a guy at some point like Xr30 mentioned. i remember you had to send him your swingarm.
not sure what tire size tho.

Just for fun i did a google search and found these links but they are for different bikes
and
Geeze expensive. might as well just get another bike.

Older thread, but funny, My brother was buying new wheels for his Harley Heritage Softtail so he could run a "wide" 150 rear tire instead of the 130. I just pointed to the 170 on my 750 Ace,,,

Stumbled upon this one recently, here’s a VLX 600 with a 240 rear tire. Only took a custom rigid frame and custom rear wheel to make it work.

And at the end of the day after a loooooong ride, nothing is left of your spine!

Eh, it’s not that bad. I run 9.5” hard struts In the rear with a stock seat(no spring) and I don’t really have a complaint, I quite like the rigid rear feel. That VLX has a mono shock under the seat, so it’s probably even comfier than what I ride.

Not so with the bikes used in the film Easy Rider. Their backs were really sore at the end of the day of filming.

Hope this helps they do wide tire kits as you can see for this Honda shadow

I was following a bike with hardtail on the way to work one day, every little bump on the highway and he was bouncing up off the seat, maybe 5" at times. While I barely felt the bump on my 1100 Ace Tourer. At times I think he was only connected to the bike by the handlebars he had a death grip on. hardtails were the technology a hundred years ago. And then they had sprung seats with a lot of travel. If you're building a piece of "art", that's one thing, If you're building a bike to ride, keep the suspension.

Not with Honda Shadows, you'll be hard pressed to find more than one person with a 300 tire on the back of one. The swingarm on all of the chain drive models isn't wide enough for the tire itself and the shaft drive models have interference from the shaft drive.

If you want a 300 rear tire you'll need a different bike.
