Default Wide Glide with Fat Bob front wheel

A little photoshop magic.

A concept I'm debating. Not seeing a downside:

That makes two of us. Plus the dual disc braking is a major enhancement

I am looking into doing the same but with a Switchback wheel...The only issue that concerns me is going form a 21" down to an 18" wheel...I already have a few clearance issues and the overall wheel/tyre height is about 1.5" difference..I could put 2" over fork tubes in but thats more expense...

Cheers...Sparra

17 inch rear with a 16" front might look a little weird........didnt like it on the Cross Bones.....put the rear FXDF wheel on too...

It'll just be a Fat Bob.
An about the skinny front tire being a crack chaser, I just replaced my tires, went with Metzler 880's. No more crack chasing.
At least not cracks in the road. LMAO

I was just talking about that yesterday. My friend put an 18 on his Wide Glide. Looks fine but rides even better.

As mentioned above, if the tire following grooves is the only concern, get rid of the Dunlop 21", try the Metz or Michelin Commander II, a vast improvement over the dunlops.
