    Riding motorcycles is fun and exciting. More and more bikes are coming with the larger fat tires as part of the stock setup. However, those that have older bikes or ones that they might want to modify with the fat tires on the back can easily customize them by getting a 300 wide tire kit. This allows you to save the cost of buying a new bike, but still have better stability and great look.

    There are a bunch of parts in the kit. The swing arm is the right size with a matching fender. These are the two most visible parts. Others include offset gears and other pieces designed for the bigger back end and to connect it to the frame. Tires and wheels are often not included because they usually need to match the rest of the bike.

    Building your own kit has advantages and disadvantages. If you're willing to spend a lot of money, you can definitely build your own. Each part will need to be ordered and you'll have to make sure they all go together. This allows you to get a total custom looking sets. The best idea for most is to get the kit that is the size you want. All the main pieces are included and ready for custom paint jobs to match the bike. The fender is usually stainless steel and ready to be painted.

    There are several sizes available. The most popular size is the 300. This is the really wide one and looks great. The 240 was the earliest size that was put on a bike as a fat back tire. Both sizes will work, but you want to make sure you order the same size in both the kit and the wheel so they will fit in the swing arm and fender.

    You will have to order the wheel by itself. This is pretty normal since there are so many different styles that could be considered standard. Many will want a custom one made. Others may just want it to match the front wheel in style. Tires are usually not included for the same reason.

    Installing it yourself is possible. These come with a great set of instructions and are fairly easy to install if you have worked on bikes before. If you are not familiar with the process, then you definitely want to have a professional bike mechanic do the installation. Putting the parts on wrong can be a serious safety issue, so before you dive in and do it yourself, make sure you know what you're doing.

    Take the bike for a test ride. If you install the components yourself, take the bike into the parking lot or just nearby your garage. Test the brakes and gears and have someone watch while you ride around in circles. If there is any wobble to the wheel or other things don't seem quite right, fix them or take the bike to a mechanic. You do not want to ride full speed until you are sure everything is installed perfectly.

    Fat wheels are the in-thing with bikes right now. They offer a great look and stability that the thinner wheels didn't have. Most of the popular bikes include the fat wheels and upgrading it can be a breeze.
