Too bad I can't fit that 140 on my fatty without changing the rake. My 21" wheel is on the way, guess I'll go with the 120.

140 on a 21" is huge, but I can dig the look. 130 on a 3.5" x 18" here.

Blackbike 17, are you in between fenders or do you just like the no fender look?

Why do you have to change the rake? Hadn't heard anyone else have to do that....... Just lower the frontend.

Thought I read somewhere the 140 on a 21" wheel is the same OD as a 23" wheel with the 130 or 120. And the FL frontend won't accommodate a 23" without additional rake? I could be wrong. Rob is moding an old heritage fender for me so I'm sure we could make the fender work, just want to make sure the fork travel doesn't damage the fender. My frontend is lowered 2" and I have heavy weight fork oil.

The 130/23 is larger dia than the 140/21. You can adjust the height to accomodate for the rake/trail using the 140. I actually believe it's the 26" and over that you have to start worrying about raking the forks.
