As a motorcycle enthusiast, you too can customize your bike. Most bikes come with the regular wheels on the front and the back. However, the latest trend is to have larger tires on at least the back, and sometimes the front. You can install them yourself or have a mechanic do the work by ordering a 300 wide tire kit. These are packed with everything you need except the tools, wheels, and tires to make it happen.

There are several pieces included in the kit. Two parts that are important are the swing arm and fender. Other offset components are included that help with aligning the gears on the wider swing arm. The wheel and tire are often not included because these are often custom parts that need to match the rest of the bike. The options are just too variable to include them in the pack. The fenders are stainless steel so you can have them painted to match.

You can build your own kit. This will require quite a bit of research to know what you need and making sure they all fit together. You don't want parts that won't go together or you'll have to send some back and order new ones which delay the time to get it done and get back on the road.

The two most popular sizes are 240 and 300. The 240 was the first size used and was taken off an old car. This was based on a bet that it couldn't be done. Thanks to its success, the idea of customizing bikes and back sets was born. It's a cool look and not that hard to accomplish.

The wheel is not included. Neither is the tire. The reason is that you're going to want to be sure it matches. Since there are so many styles available, it doesn' make sense to include a generic version in the kit. The tire is the same way. Too many options make it unreasonable. And it's a good thing. This allows you to get what you want and not just accept what might come with it.

You can install this yourself. The instructions are pretty easy to follow if you're someone who has worked on your bike. However, if you do not know how to use the tools or what the parts are, you really should have a mechanic do the work. This involves gears and brakes, so getting it wrong can have devastating results when you're on the road. Always do a test ride before taking it out on the open road to make sure things are working properly.

Do not open ride without testing it first. There should be absolutely no wobble in the back tire. You should be able to change gears and apply the brakes with the right results. If any of these aren't right, fix it. If you can't fix it, hire a mechanic. Getting these wrong can result in a devastating crash so the importance here cannot be overstated.

Having fat backs is a great look and makes the ride more fun. There are many different setups to consider, so pick the one that will look best with your ride. The popular sizes will be easy to find and easy to install.
