Yep...turned down lots of offers for that very reason I'm really digging the 21/18 setup more this time than before. For some reason my Race Tech front end even feels more dialed in.

How high would a 21" raise the front end over stock?

I have a flhrs dna 18 x 3 in front the back is 16x3, u can see my front whell unlike u all because, i only one rotor which is the left. Tried an 18 in the rear felt to wobbly went back to the 16 rides better. Iam about to get the stock road king custom rear wheel back on it tired of cleaning the spoke wheel in the rear. Cant believe how much u are willing to spend on a wheel damn!!!!!! And u cant even see it with your two front rotors.......just my two cents

That is why you go with a single front brake and rotor. Just my opinion.

Way to resurrect an oldie ha!

I agree with 2011glide If you want to see more of your wheel look into running a single side rotor and caliper to give you the best look. There are certain changes you need to make in order to retain the same stopping power, but it can be done quite easily.

We have tech articles on converting over to a single side, take a look here.

If you are going with the contrast black and chrome, I think leaving the rear is fine. I wouldn't if I was going with a chromed front wheel. I also agree with others as far as going with a 18 inch front due to finding a 19 inch tire when in the middle of nowhere. I like the Renagade Venice.
