21" front only
I have been reading about all the problems everyone has been having but I wanted a 21 front anyway. I have a 2014 SGS. So installed a RSD Slam with the 120/70/21 with stock rear and rode it last night for the first time about 40 miles on the highway and no light. So hope I'm one of the lucky ones. I'll update if any issues arise.

Hey I don't have a Harley yet but I'm going to mechanic school right now. Wheel speed sensors are pulse generators so the ecm is reading the frequency it's putting out. So I believe if u increase or decrease the number of teeth on the reluctor wheel I can't remember which way it works but u can make them read the same frequency or really close so u can still have abs with big wheels

No ABS Fairy Light for me :(
So after about 2500 miles on my 23/18 inch wheel combo, the constant ABS light stopped. It still does the system check at start up but no longer comes on after getting up to highway speed. Everything seems to be functioning properly with the ABS and Linked Brakes. 500 more miles added and still no light when riding!
Apparently after "seeing" the error for a certain length of time, it recognizes that as the norm, not a situation that requires service.

I wonder if the 2015's are going to have this problem. Now that the new Road Glides are out this is going to be a big issue. There's been a lot of RG guys waiting and you know a bunch of them will be going with the big wheels.

I just contacted bearingworks.com they make customs bearings. They said they could do it they just need how many teeth it needs. So if anyone could get me the frequency with a stock wheel at a certain speed and someone with a big wheel could do the same at the same speed I could calculate what size reluctor to have them make

Anymore info on this with a 23 inch??? I just ordered everything to put the 23 on my FLXHS and I am REALLY hoping I don't have to change the back wheel also... I have a couple of questions... When the ABS light comes on does that mean that the system will not work or will the ABS still engage??? Any new info would be great on this...
Thanks
