Thanks Bro! It has been a labor of love over 2 years, and nearly there. Some fork lowers, then the rotors and puley, and maybe change the headlight. Then I "might" stop.

Well that's what I tell the Mrs anyway!!

Cheers

21" is the way to go in my opinion. It stands out so much more than anything smaller. Of course wheels is my business so I guess you have to take that with a grain of salt.

I love the look of the 21 front and 18 rear but have have not had report on the handling. My friend has a rocker with a skinny but larger front tire and it will track in groove. I'm thinking of 3.5 in wide wheels any word on the handling with the 21/18 setup?

On an FL softail with a Heritage or Deluxe style fender a 21x3.25 or 3.5" will bolt right up. On an FXST it needs to be a 21x2.15 if you want to run the stock fender. If you want to change the fender you can do a wider rim but the wider tire (120mm) will rub on the fender brackets with the stock fender. AusMongrel, the wheels are looking sick!

No issues at all. It is only baggers that have a slight issue with a 21" wheel. Softails were designed with style in mind!

Yeah no shortage of the 21 inch on FL softail's...they look good but it seems like everyone is running this set up now make sure you get some cholos and some apes to be orginal!! Just kidding guys I love the 21 inch in the front I'm sure that I will be down at HogPro soon to get that 21 inch Matrix!
