If I were to swap a set of Enforcer 16”/19” wheels onto my 2005 Road King, what differences what I notice in handling and ride quality?

The bike currently has wire spoked 16”/16” wheels.

TIA

 

Not enough to notice or worry about

 

I put a 16" front on my 2015 RG to absorb the road on long trips. I recently put the 19" wheel it came with back on. To me the RG is much more nimble with the 19. I feel the RK I purchased this past spring is the best handling setup I've had on a touring bike. 18" front and back.

 

i don't think you'll be able to get the enforcer on the rear. the front will fit, but you might have to do some creative stuff with the rotors and bearings, especially if the enforcer has an abs bearing. but after you've worked those issues out, you'll notice that the 19'' front rides rougher than the 16'' due to the low profile tire on the 19''.

 

I misunderstood about fitment, thinking only a bearing change was needed.

What is different with the front rotors? O.D? My 2005 has four pot calipers of course.

What prevents the rear Enforcer from being used? Is it because of the 2009 and up swingarm?

Is there any combination that looks good together? I mean an Enforcer front and a rear that fits the bike and looks ok with it?

 

2008 and later have the Brembo brakes. 2009 and later rear axle is 5" yours is 3.5". Major changes in the axle. Check around there's probably an after market company that makes a conversion kit.

 

i've heard of people running the rotors on a lathe to cut them down so they fit.

 

OK, so the OD of the rotor is a little bigger.


I saw a decent deal on front and rear set with good tires and all... but it’s no deal if the rear can’t work.

Id still like an Enforcer front and a rear that would look at least complementary.
