I am considering an aftermarket wheel for the front. Who are some of the best quality manufacturers? Do you all think just doing the front is ok; my rear wheel is hidden by the bags, and I don't want to spend another 1200 for something I can't see. Also, my 07 Fat Boy has the 17 inch wheels. What is the best front only size?

thank you,
Brent.

 

You can get up to 19" wheels in the front, w/lower profile but slightly skinnier tire.I'm not positive about 21" wheels w/out making any further mods. Maybe someone else would know...

Renegade, PM, and RC Comps all have really great wheels.See if you like 3-d cut wheelscompared toa 90-degree flat-cut; it adds another dimension to the wheel.The renegade wheel/bike selector will allow you to see the difference between 16", 18", and 19" front wheel on your 07 fatty. I think RC Components has a similar feature on their website.

Good luck. I love wheel shopping... =D

 

Check out Hogpro too. They are a forum sponsor and I hear nothing but good things about them. One day I'll get some when I have the greens...

 

That is pretty scary. $2000 for 2 wheels

 

HOGPRO

 

i got mine at hogpro, great people to work with...talk to phil there, he's real cool.......as for brand, all the big names are probably similar in quality but i liked the looks of the renegades.....

 

Brent, I sent you a PM

 

a new line of wheels we have been using a lot is forge tec, really nice stuff.

 

Mine are HOGPRO, Wheels, Rotors, Pulley, and tires... Mounted, Balanced and shipped, under $2800!!!

 

And if ya paid that much, probably should go for the chrome rotors, pulley...kev. brake pads, plus new tires...so that adds up to $3k-ish?
