What kinds of things can you do to a front wheel on a wide glide? What have you guys done? Wider front, lower profile, smaller rim... etc?

 

When it was time for a change (only 5500 miles!) on my 21" Dunlop, I went with a 21" Avon Roadrunner. It is a wider/taller tire. I feel a difference of gaining more control of the front end. It still looks skinny like the classic wide glide but when you compare it to the Dunlop, you can see a difference.

Stock width on pre-06 is a 80/90x21 I replaced it with a 90/90 Avon AM41 Venom on my second set ,great tire for wet dry and mileage. the 06/07's now have 90/90's

 

When I converted mine to a trike I moved the rear wheel to the front.Put a 140 Metzeler on it with a Fatboy fender.Donnie

what's the biggest tire you can put on without problems?

 

i put the metzler 880 in the 90/90 size on the front of my 06 at 7500 miles. feels much more connected than did the dunlop.
