Mind if I ask what does IDS stand for? I see it a lot around here. Im thinking of doing the hogpro 18" but maybe just the front only. (its all you see anyway)

I have really enjoyed my 21x18 setup, but I'm changing my front wheel/tire to 18's. I just want that bit more stability and ride comfort that I believe they will provide, plus I get the inch back in the front end that I lowered for the 21". I really hated to give that much travel up. Lastly, I've really started to get back into more muscular fatter look on the bike and think dual 18's provide that. Keep in mind I'm in the minority. Many go 18" first then move up to 21's, not many go my direction, or at least not many report it.

That is an insanely good price. If we hadn't just dropped the coin to get the wife's new Heritage, I would be putting those 18" Indys on the Ultra.

i went with the 21x18 on my classic -- great thus far. went to sturgis from vegas, fully bagged and packed, 2 up @ 500 lbs. No issues at all -- recommend it.

The only mods I had to do was shave the belt guard a little bit. The front fender is close but no mods. Check out www.mcmotorsportsoutlet.com. I might have $1800 in the whole set up.

If you have a stock rear sprocket, the IDS should fit.

My husband swears by is 18's on his Ultra. Loves the handling and is fairly easy to get tires. Dennis Kirk stocks 18" Metzelers
