Default New Venom 21" and 17" wheels for Sunglo SG

Well guys,

I got my Venom 21" and 17" wheels installed on the new Street Glide. If anyone has any questions about the install or where the spacers go give me a shout.

Thank you. You said that right. Doesn't even look like the same bike.

It goes under the knife this weekend for some 'enhancements'. Can't wait to get it done and get it back.

looks good man.

have you gotten her on the road yet with the new wheels?

this is the direction i'm pushing my dad in when he trades his 07 SG in on the 2011 and i'd appreciate it if you could let me know how it handles/rides vs. stock

I've only ridden it about 30 or 40 miles since I put them on. As far as the ride goes...it's different. More stable at slow speeds but, still feels a little awkward at higher speeds when leaning. It reminds me a lot of the way my Big Dog Pitbull handled.

It had a 23" front and a 20" rear with a 280 tire.

Bump in the road wise I can't tell any difference from when it was stock.

As far as curves go...initially you don't have to lean as hard, but you reach a point where you have to lean harder than when it was stock.

I think getting the front lowered back down an inch or so will help this. We will find out next week. Getting the front end lowered and several other goodies. I'll keep you posted.

Look great. I just did my 21/17 combo last week and I love them. How about some better shots.

please do...i'm pushing hard for this setup on his new bike

even have the wheels/rotors/tires picked out already.

after you lower the front and get it on the road for a good test ride shoot me a PM if it's not too much trouble.
