Default First post- 21" wire with whites- thanks

I just found this site.wonderful site BTW, anywayI have been searching the 21" front tire threads. I sold my 03 this week and my 07 will be here last of this month. I love the fancy 21" PM or RC wheels, however they all seem like 2700 for everything. Has any body ever done 21" wires with whites on a classic? I'd love to see some pictures..and some hints for that matter. Thanks in advance.

If any body knows how to do the fancy wheels alot cheaper let me know!

I bought mine from Hogpro, as they are a sponsor here and offer free shipping as an incentive, however, AMERICAN CLASSIC MOTORS sells wheels cheap and alot of people buy from them as well.

Welcome to the forums!

I am wanting the same look. I have not had any luck finding a 21" tire with white walls. I know it's wishful thinking since there's barely a wall to make white.

I purchased 80 spoke wheels from American Classics (21/18)along with 2 rotors and metzler tires I think the total came up to 12 - 1300.

Their customer service is excellent.

here is a picture of the bike http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ldr999...pg&.src=ph

they do have a 21 whitewall --

Iceheritage is running a 21" front spoker on his RG and it looks awesome. Check out his profile. He has a link to his photobucket page with pics. I have never seen a 21" with whitewalls....not much of a sidewall.

Good luck,
RJ

For you new guys. If your looking to save a few dollars consider picking your chrome front and rearwheel of choice with matching front rotors and reuse your stock rear rotor and pulley. It is very hard to see in there with the bags on.

Here are two bikes with stock pulleys and chrome covers. One has a stock rotor polished and the other has a matching rotor.

I came close to buying the matching chrome rear rotor and pulley, but changed my mind. Glad I did cause it would have been money tossed in the wind on a bagger.

Here is mine with just a little drop in the back and you can't even see the rotor nor the pulley. So yea, save some coin and use the stockers for this area.

Ultraklassic nice ride, now we have to get you to loose that plate.

Bruisers Inc. grab bar eliminator and self built tag relocation.

OH and to stay on topic. You can always add the pulley and rotot later when Santa brings it!
