In a previous post I had questions about the installation of a 21" wheel on my FB. Well I got it all worked out today and took it out for a ride. It rode good but the handling was not the same and that should be expected. Take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think.

 

I'll bet the 21" feels a lot heavier than the stock. Looks good, but those pics are so small I can barely see them even when I click on the thumbnails.

Thanks Dr. V. I don't know what the problem is with the pictures. I haven't changed anything from previous pictures. Maybe you can help me. I need a hub cover for the side that doesn't have a rotor. I have a HD part number that not in the new catalog. PN 41517-05. Any help?

 

Yeah, here ya go. Check Zanotti Motor as well.

It lookks good but might look better if that big fender wasn't covering so much of the wheel/tire..... Just my opinion tho.

 

neither one had it.

 

The change in handling will be something you'll get used to. It got floppy in low speed and got heavy and solid on the highway didn't it?

It looks good, but the big fender looks out of place. IDK, might just be the angle. Otherwise, I love it!

 

Looks like you are trying to turn it into a street glide?

Not at all. I rode the SG and the bars and fairing were sitting to close for me. On the FB the Batwing and the bars are forward plus I sit lower in the bike not on top of it. I did the hard bags for more storage. The leather bags that come on the FB were to small. Another plus for the FB, I can strip it down in a matter of minutes were you SG guys are stuck with what you got. I like the fact I can change the look according to how I want to ride.

 

Well i try to be honest with opinions like em or not ..... The Fatboy is a Fatboy is a Fatboy! ...... while hard bags do not look out of place the big up front wheels and fairings are just killin the look .... Too many people tryin to make their bike look like something it's not ....(Street Glide) .... i'll just keep it the way it was designed that way people wont ask me what Harley is it!......
