Default 21 " wheel

Just wanted to know anyone put a 21" wheel on a stock08dyna super glide . The folks at harley kind of spazed about doing it.

I've heard of people doing it and you can... I'm sure but why? It'll probably not handle as well.

With the right parts anything can be done.....
I swapped my 21" for a 19" on my Wide Glide when I went to Metzeler 880's, made a huge difference in my handling. Don't think I would ever go back to a 21". Just my $0.02

I don't think there is a stock HD wheel that bolts right up to your bike, so most of the folks on here are lacing their stock hub to a 21" with good results.

I beleive the path is to swap the hub(ie lace the 21" with the hub from your 19"

I have a 21" front wheel on my superglide. I bought the bike used and the previous owner put it on. I definitely like the looks of it, and since I have not driven the bike with the stock wheel, I cannot speak to which is better for handling - 18 or 21.

you lace a 21" rim to it and it handles just as well , a little lighter in the turns.. That is the way mine is done
