that will not make a difference--anywhere from 3 to 3.5 will work--what size are you using on the rear?

was just thinking about leaving the rear the stock rim beings you cant see it much. What you think? for the front have been looking at dna's envy or mammoth 52 spoke rim. Or revtech's nitro 18.

Lots of nice 21's out there. Chief X is a site sponsor and has Renegade I think. Hog Pro has nice wheels too they also have a gallery to look at different bikes.

When I went to the dealer looking at bikes today, they had a new street glide in there with $6100 of accessories added to it. One thing was a 21 in. front wheel. Looked pretty sharp but when I sat on it and lifted it off the stand, you could really feel the weight. I was surprised as it felt like the bike was way more top heavy. Seemed like the bike was 300lbs heavier over a stock SG. Salesmen said it didn't handle or ride as well either. Just picking it up off the stand soured me on the 21" wheel. I suggest you check out the heft and ride ( if possible) of one before you go to 21".

Your preference, I didn't.
But times are much tougher now.
