Question for those who have a 21" front wheel
I was in Detroit Harley this weekend and saw their display of a few baggers that had been customized with 21" front wheels. Those wheels looked awesome to me. I wanted to find out what the difference in ride and handling is with a 21" versus the stock 17 that I have on my 2010 RK. Also, I have ABS, and I wondered if that is affected when going to the larger wheel?
Thanks, Brent.

can't comment on the ABS, as far as handling its different, wouldn't say better or worse but its different. had a trip this weekend to the Texas Hill Country, we road the 3 Sisters Ranch Roads 335,336,and 337. Lots of 10, 15 and 20 MPH curves. Return trip home interstate 10 is 334 miles got rained on in San Antonio, 25 mph winds in Sealy. My 21" wheel handled good this weekend in about everything that you could throw at it other than snow. I did drop the front to keep the geometry of the bike close to the same as stock. If you made the switch i think you would be happy, I have not run into anyone who has switched back to the stock wheel, in fact one of our riding buddies this weekend has a street glide with a 27" wheel.
