Put this on the front of my 09 RK Police the other day with a fatter 140/75-R17 tire. Do not attempt to use a fatter tire because this one barely fits under the front fender. The 17" Smoothie is 14 pounds heavier than the stock wheel so I'm glad I didn't go any bigger. The quality and fit is excellent.

Slightly more steering input required but nothing to fret about. That's probably due more to the larger contact patch of the tire than the heavier wheel. Can still do fairly tight figure 8's. Braking is a tad slower, but again, nothing I can't adjust to. Not a 400 pound sport bike anyway. Nothing in the way of side wind effects that I can notice either. Very happy.

Nice lookin' wheel. Never liked the Street Glide wheel on a police Road King anyway. It should be easy to keep clean too.

Have you considered removing the front bumper? Makes the front end look lighter, IMHO.

 

I'm on the other end of the spectrum where I like the look of a heavy/chromed front end to match the rest of the heavy/chromed bike. Kind of like a warthog or a tank coming at you.

I know that's a far from popular trend, but that's the great thing about Harley's - so many looks for so many folks.

More importantly, I can't say enough about the good folks at Hogpro. Great, informative customer service which is getting hard to find these days.

Ride safe all,
