I'm the scaredy cat of the group... but I feel obligated to warn others, I called both Avon and Metzler and they both stated not to put a 21in tire on a bagger, and their reason was due to weight issues. There is not as much of a weight rating on the 21in as the stock size I guess? All I know is that I ride with my wife about half the time and I'm not willing to risk it and go against what the tire manufacturer says... that being said, they look INCREDIBLE and there are a ton of people running them and I have never heard of a issue....

I installed chromed factory wheels, although I changed to the 2010 front wheel so mine is a 18front and 16 rear... looks a ton better and a ton cheaper!

 

21/17 here with the 200 rear tire. It handles fine. I did lower the front 1" and add the intiminators. Rides smooth. Have about 6000 miles of 2up with a ton of wife's crap (funny how all of mine fits in one saddlebag) and beer. No handling issues and tires seem fine.

 

21/18 here rides and handles fine.

 

Fat Baggers

 

18 front and 16 back....The 18 has a load rating of 600 and most 21 are 480...Street Glide has alot of weight on the front. But the 21 does look better..

21/17 Had 18 rear on another bike and did not like the harsh ride or instability at times. Call Hog Pro they will recommend the 21/17 combo as do most people who know what there are doing/selling.

 

nice bike Doc those Czars are killer

 

18-21 combo and close to 6000 miles on a 21 and not one sign of cupping

 

Thanks Bro!

 

Hi I'm newbie here and all stock but Wondering what combo works best if I wanna go up to 19 in front what should I use for rear? And should I go 19.3 or...? My wife comes along 50 percent of the time. Thanks
