I'm thinking about moving to a wide glide with but if so I want a thicker front wheel. I like the 21" but want something with more rubber than 80/90 or 90/90. I'd really like a 120 or something like that.

Can you get a wider Rim that will work with ABS? I think ABS is just part of the rotor, so are there rims that use the stock rotor?

 

Anybody know?

 

Why not get a Fat Bob with ABS?

 

You can put a 120 on the 21. Its the widest tire you can put on that wheel. I had a 120 on my old Deuce that runs the same 21.

 

Which 120 did you use? I was thinking of lacing on a wider wheel, but the 120 will go on a 2.15" rim OK?
Any pictures of that combination?

 

Cause the new one is ugly and I kinda like the extra rake and huge front hoop. That said, if I could find a good deal on an ABS/Security Fat bob I'd be all over it.

 

I had a commander II on there. Think is was like a 120/70B/21 This is what I went off. Ahh it wont fit a 2.15 rim needs a 3.5. My bad.

That's what I was asking about. Is there a 3.5" rim that can re-use the existing disc setup because I *think* ABS works off of the rotor, not the wheel.

 

If you have a spoked wheel, I don't see why any size rim couldn't be laced up to the existing hub and brake.

But I've also run across a thread or two where people successfully ran a 120/70/21 Avon on a 2.15" rim, and they claimed it was a huge improvement over the 80 or 90.

 

did some research. ABS is built into the wheel bearing. So aftermarket rims will work fine as long as the use the same bearing.
