Now it should be easier to remember what size tires you use

Wait a minute ... only the Front? Is a rear wheel change coming?


Looks Good

I love the look!!! I have never ridden one to know the function.

The downside for me is cost. It's hard to justify in my head. If the function excels, I could pay for the fashion.

Man, I love the look though!!!

I like the look. What size is the tire? Report back on how it rides and turns. Very Cool!

If someone told me they were going to do that mod, I'd think, "Why?"....

After seeing it, I really like the look.....! I'll be interested in your report on how it rides...

IMHO... it's a waay better look than the big-wheel front tires that are all the rage...

Agreed, I think Yaffe, was one of the first ones to go with the fat tire on his SRT bike

That wheel looks like a match for the stock FLHXS Talon wheel. Is that the "18x5.5 TALON 180 FAT TIRE FRONT WHEEL" I've seen for sale by Metal Artopia?

Would look completely BADASS on my 2018 RGS. I need to sell something to make this happen...

Well done! I also prefer the "Fatty" over the big wheel.

running an Avon 180...55....18" on the front....... rides really nice..... you do have to push it over a little more for the corners.... nothing you would notice after a few miles...
