They are 3 1/2" wide rims, not sure of the tire size...I guess if you want, I could go out at lunch and take a look

Tire size should be a 120/70/21.

18's and 21's are the new fad. I like more rubber on the road and a fatter profile!! Beside taht I can see plenty of my front wheel but none of the rear!![8D]

I was outta town a couple of days and unable to follow this thread but have enjoyed catching up. Some very nice looking scoots here.

Biggzed, you're running 21/18. Is that a low profile front tire? It looks more narrow than stock?

Me, I like the big front tire as it seems to ride smoother than my old Night Train did. But I'd be very interested in moving to a 21/18 setup as long as I felt that handling wasn't degraded by the change. Would I have to modify the front fender to move to the 21" wheel? Judging from the pictures here, it sure wouldn't hurt the looks of my bike.

Here is what I did. I stayed with the 16 in rear and 18 front. I lowered the front end and went up 1in with my set up - love it and the bike handles better than my work ride which is the stock 16.JMO

Well as an update, I waited another day or two and ordered today. I went 18/18. Finances were a factor that came into play due to my impending wedding next week and trip to Cancun. I've posted another thread with the front wheel put on a RG in photoshop and looks perty damn good for a two minute job lol. Thanks for all of the replies.
