Ok so all the new info hit the web...one kinda abstract thing that picked up on... on the new Softail Breakout CVO..the front tire is listed as a 130/60/21..... I know alot of guys that run the 21 on the front of the baggers kinda wish they had a better option then the 120/70
By my math the 130/60 would be a tad shorter then the 120/70 in overall diameter.
It lists the load rating at 63...
I'd have to imagine its a Dunlop.
I would think this is gonna be popular with the Bagger crowd.

 

stock 130/70/18 = 5.1 wide x 25.1" tall
custon 120/70/21 = 4.7 wide x 27.6" tall
new 130/60/21 = 5.1 wide x 27.1" tall

so a 1" fork drop would put that Bagger right back to stock height

 

It's just a fad. remember? :-)

 

That will be on my list for sure...

 

Hope it's offered in a white wall.

Would a 21 x 3.5 rim be the choice?

 

i want one too!

 

What's the price? I'll be changing my front soon, if the price is competitive I may check it out, if its like the rear, I'll stick with what I have.

 

I can deal with this. Same amount of rubber on the ground, same load rating as '10 and newer stock, 1" drop. I do have 2 questions:

1st question: I'm sure I could answer myself, but: I know the SG is lowered 1" but I ASSumed that was front and back. Recently I have read more than once that only the rear is lowered??? If only the rear is lowered then it creates a different geometry that must be completely acceptable. Right? Soooooo...Raising any touring bike (except SG) 1" in the front would create the same exact geometry that an SG comes from the factory with?
Soooooo...putting this new 130 60 21 on an Ultra would require no extra work/ shocks, etc. b/c it would essentially be 1" taller in front and 1" taller in the rear than a stock SG

2nd question: I think HogPro can tell me this, but does anyone know how much more tire diameter I can do in the rear without tire hitting inside of fender on bumps? I was thinking that by effectively raising rear with tire diameter I could offset raising of front with a 21".

 

as far as i know the SG i lowered ONLY in the rear from the factory, due to shorter shocks.... but that doesn't really matter for this topic..
as for the front the whole issue is the overall diameter of the wheel/tire setup ..which would be basically 2" more then stock...weather you have an older bagger with a 16" front, or a newer with 17" front or even an SG/RG Custom with the 18" front... the distance ffom the center of the axle to the groundwith the 130/21 will be basically 1" more then stock (basically the difference in the radius of the tire in geometry terms) so therefore to get the frame back to where its suppsoed to be you have to lose 1" in the forks

 

Why doesn't it matter? When Harley lowers the SG nothing is changed but the shorter shocks, right?

OK, lemme approach it a different way: You have a SG, which is factory lowered 1" in the back. You put on a 130 60 21 that raises the front 1". Then you put EG rear shocks on it which raises it 1". You have raised your SG 1" all the way around (so to speak) 1" front & 1" rear. So isn't the geometry of your SG exactly the same as stock???
