I'm gathering parts for my winter mods; so far I've decided on a swap to wide glide trees from a Fat Bob and 14" Outlaws bars. What I can't decide on is if I want to keep the 21" front wheel and just have the hoop re-laced on a WG hub or if I want to go down to 16" front and run a 150/80 front tire.
I'm leaning towards swapping both front and back to 16" since there are more tires available.
Inputs, suggestions??

 

love my 16

 

Superfast, did you swap the rear out for a 16 as well? Or are you still running the 17 back there?

 

What are you doing with the old parts?

 

I'll put them up in the for sale section.

 

I'll keep an eye out, I like those bars and trees

 

im running the 17 crossbones wheel with a 200 on it

 

Personally, I like the look and handling of 16 inch wheels. I too used Fat Bob trees and 16 inch spoke wheels from Electra-Glides or FL Softails are plentiful on eBay. I laced up a rim from a 2010 Road King to my rear hub so I could run the 180 touring tire.

 

Thanks, that was I was looking at doing; finding an FL front on ebay. Your Duo-glide mod looks great.
