Default 21" front & 18" rear

I have seen a 21" front on here, and on youtube. I forget the dude's name, but he has Roland Sands Apes on his bike and it is Olive/Black (just like mine !!!). As far as the 18" rear, haven't seen it yet, but I would LOVE too. My bum is kinda big and I don't want to give the girlies too much of a show while rollin' down the road (they gotta pay for that, lol)...

what else are you going to do? a lot of the top builders are doing same sized wheels front/back. using skinny tires. i think the nightster would look good with an 18" out back and a bit more fender-bob. thats where i'd like to go with mine.

Would you have to widen the frame to fit an 18" ?

Tweakin I believe did it to his nightster. Search him and you'll find it. He no longer has it, but his pics should still be in his gallery and in some threads.

No changes made. Check out www.hdwheels.com, they can tell you exactly what will fit on any Harley in different applications. They do great work.
