A lot more involved in running a single rotor too...
Need to go with a 13" rotor, 6 piston caliper, new brake line, etc... and I'm sure with ABS there will be some other concerns but my bike is NON ABS so I'm not sure what other issues will need addressed. Try to do a search and you will fin something on it.

 

its real easy to replace new wheels, order new ones....remove old ones....install new ones....

my bike has 21" front, 17" rear and lowered 1" in the front.

 

That is funny. Its exactly what I did. I didn't lower the front end, but wish I did.

 

Has anyone added a custom rear wheel without having to change the stock rotor and rear pulley set up? Trying to squeeze the rear wheel into my budget. I have an 07 street glide with 21'' RC Components Calypso wheel and I wanna go with a size that doesn't change the rear set up.

 

Any RC wheel is able to use your stock pulley and rotor. Most people whom change the rear will go with an 18x4.25 but you could also do a 16x3.5 if you prefer. The stock pulley and rotor will bolt right up.

 

i kept rear pulley and stock rotors on mine when i swap for 21/18 setup. no problems.

 

Why do some people change the rear to an 18"? is it because there is more wheel to see? or is there some advantage? sorry if this jacks the thread... just curious.

 

I found this to be a hot topic on this forum when I started building my Street Glide. I had originally planned on going with a 21" front with single rotor and 18" rear but after much reading and research I chose to go a different route for several reasons. I ended up going with the Harley Agitators rims because of cost and I like the way the wheels looked. I went with a 19" front w/130B60 and a 18" rear with a 180/55B, this set up cost me about $2000 less than going with some of the other custom wheels and rotors. I also stayed with the dual rotors after reading lots of opinions on dual vs single rotors. Here is a calculator that will help you figure out what size tires and wheels to use as far as matching up overall diameter.

Bottom line is do whatever you like the looks of and whatever you can afford. It's really hard to tell what's the best wheel tire combination as it's a matter of personal choice more than performance issues.

 

one reason maybe when you throw all that money in a matching rear wheel, you want to see the more you can
