I ordered new wheels for the Street Glide. 21 X 3.5 in the front, 18 X 4.5 in the rear, with some 880's and matching rotors. When I ordered the wheels Phil at Hogpro warned me that I have to make sure that there is 1/4" clearance from the tire to the fender all the way around. Has anybody put the 21" on the front of a bagger, did you have any issues with this? Here's a pic of the rims I just ordered.

Could find out more details, but the fact that these were fitted successfully is a good sign.

Make sure you take some good pics when you get them ! That is going to be a sweet bike .One question do they supply the wheel spacers , or are you going to have to fab some ?

I have seen the 21" on a touring bike, I love the way it looks! I was like you when I first started thinking about mags, I wanted 18" and I was going to put a fender from a fatboy on it and lower it. Then I saw a glide with a 21" rim....wow! That was it, thats the look I wanted. So I understand what you are saying, but for what I want my bike to look like, this is the wheel for me
BTW, the front tire is a 120.

Beautiful wheels. I live less than10 miles from Hogpro and would like to view these wheels in person. What are they called/model number ?
Thanks...Dan

They are called scalpels they are on the featured products about 5 wheels down. They just put them on the site about a week and a half ago. Let me know what you think of them when you see them in person......I hope they look as good in person as they do in the web site.
