Are you sure the 130/60-21 is a radial? The part number I found and ordered identifies the tire as a bias ply. 130/60-b21. These tires are available, but they are a direct ship from Dunlop. I ordered mine on Friday and received confirmation of delivery by the end of week.

Update: I decided to save a few bucks ($600 to be exact) and I ordered the Ultima King fat spoke 21x3.5 wheel and a 120x70/21 Dunlope elite tire.

I ordered the Ride Wright 17x6 FAT 50 spoke rear wheel (already have a new tire sitting in the garage for this.

New chrome pulley, two new polished rotors, 25mm bearings for the front wheel, chrome bolts for the pulley and rotors and some new hole-shot chrome levers.

Should have everything except the rear wheel by the start of next week. Can't wait!

Jake, not sure on that. Dunlop made that for the Breakout this year and I couldn't find it on their website. I would assume it is since it was made for the CVO breakout, but don't know.

Whitenoise... make sure you post some pics up of the finished product.

So after some research I found that the bearings on the Ultima front wheel are 52mm x 21 mm x 1"

The bearings on my original wheel are 52mm x 21mm x 25mm

Great news considering new bearings for my softail will fit into the new wheel perfectly.

I received the front wheel today, the tire will be here tomorrow but the new bearings aren't going to be here till Tuesday.

Well the new wheels are installed. I have to say I'm pretty happy with them. Ran into several issues during the install but all in all it wasn't too bad.

Wow, looks great!

Those are exactly what I thought about putting on mine. Now I need to go back and read this thread again to see all the details. If you dont mind me asking, What was your total cost with this?

Also, you were able to find an Ultima Fat Spoke in a 17x6? I have looked all over and can't find that size.
