I did a search and could not find a thread addressing this. Is anyone with an Ultra running a 21/16 wheel combo? If so, please post a pic.
Thanks
I dont have
a Ultra but I do have a 21 3.5, 17 6.25 on the rear with a 200mm.tire on my FLTR. It is a a Super nice Combo. I Love it! It is also on a 2009 model, which was improved from a 2008 model.My avatar shows a little pic, but go to my garage to see more.
I put a 21/18 combo on while at Sturgis last week. While I love the looks the low speed handling is poor for me. I'm gonna look at a lowering kit for the front end to get the geometry back to where it was.
I can't help you with a 21/16 pic but I have the 21/18 combo on my 08 Ultra and like the looks and handling. Why would you want to keep the 16 on the rear ?
Do you have to relocate (raise) the front fender with the 21" ? Any rubbing issues?
Yes it's best to drill out the rear mounting hole with a 3/8" drill bit and raise it and tip it up from the back and then tighten it down and that solves any clearance issues.

So did a buddy of mine..........says over 65 it starts to wobbles and low speed sux.......His was a FLHX though........
I run a 21/18 combo and I don't experience any wobbles...tracks true and straight...could be the Bagger Brace also. I know A LOT of people who use the 21/18 combination and I haven't heard of any wobbling...
I don't have any pictures either but have seen the 21 x 3.50 front with a stock 16 on the rear many times. I also believe the 21 /18 set up looks much better but I have not heard of any negative issues from those that went with the 21/16.
