Default 2005 softail deluxe-21"X3" spoke front tire...or no? what do you think?

Im looking to do a front tire. 21x3 spoke rim, thinking to do a 80 spoke rim with a white wall tire. Whats everyone think? What make rim and what tires? Also anyone have any other ideas for things to do... just repositioned the lisence plate with a softbrake mount, and i do not ride with the passenger seat unless nessacary, and those are road king bags attached by vision cycles brackets. Let me know...

I prefer fat 50's, but the spokes are up to you. Ride Wright are the brand to get in my opinion. Here is a pic of my ride with a 21x3 fat 50. I can get you a discount on the Ride Wrights too! Email me at DREW@DRVTWIN.COM

Hell yea do it bro, i would have said to go ride wright but recently my friend told me how big of a douche sam at ride wright can really be. He didnt seal wheels made for my friends tubeless wheels he ordered. Well long story short he tried to charge my friend 100 bucks to seal a wheel he (sam) messed up on. Oh well just like any other shop when demand goes up usually quality suffers

21" would really look good on that bike.

Also, (remember you asked) I would tilt the apes more towards the front and lose the passenger seat. Your bike really looks good and now you have my.

That is strange. Sam has always taken care of me proper. PM me your buddies number and I'll see if I can help sort it out.

actually i think this one is better to be left alone drew, guess sam was gonna charge him 100 bucks to seal a wheel he ordered for tubeless. Sam was lucky homie didnt put hands on him (hes been known to do that).

Hmmm., I have to agree with Drew, Sam has always been good to me and when speaking to him his customer service has been great. I've even run into him at a couple of shows and he was extremely cool.

just my .2cents
