I changed to an Avon Speedmaster when I put my leaf on , really haven't noticed much of a difference. I do like the old school look alot better.

I have an 07 Wide Glide with the 21' skinny front tire. Over 25000 miles with no issues with handling. Highway, Twisties, the Dragon.... I rented a touring bike this summer for a fly and ride trip and wished I had the wide gide on the trip.

I don't know, but I do know how that post makes you look.

can someone tell me what the numbers stand for example: 80/90-21 as opposed to a 90/90

Yeah, it makes me look like I am riding a Harley cruiser actually leaned over a little, rather than the usual blinged over a little
