Default 21x3.5 pro/con. Post pics of rims

So looking at Aftermarket rims and hoop selection

Is there any downside to running a 21x3.5 from rim on a dyna...handling wise

Would you be sacrificing lean angle a skinnier 21" front?

What are pros and cons of a canyon carving built dyna if you ran a 120 front tire?

Other bike I ran had 120s up front and it handled great

Previous dyna had a 19" switchblade mag and it handled great. Is a 21x3.5 just to much on a dyna platform?

Had a 2x3.5 on my road king and it was smooth as silk

Mine is a 21x3.25, but close enough and runs the same size tires. I love it and was way better than my 19" stocker. I hear the thin 21" like to grab grooves and tar snakes.

This is the Jerieh Cycle rim that you can lace your stock hub and spokes too.

yup I run the Jirah Cycles hoop too (21"x3.25")...........I don't believe a 3.5" will fit a 49mm Street Bob w/ a front fender. The 3.25" is close and I actually notched my fender a bit to slide it up some.

Not many companies out there offer 3.25" wide wheels, but HogPro (forum member) does. He's got some real nice wheels.
