Default Front Wheel Upgrade time....and she's buying!!!

Im looking to get a new front wheel for my 96 Springer. But I was think about possibly trying to fit an FL size tire on the Front if possible. Has anyone everdone this before? If so, was there anything else needed?

Also, I'm trying to decide whether to go up in spoke count on the rim. Anyone have any suggestions. Any input would be great. Alot of great looking Springers on this site. So why not as the best!


Thanks!

I have an American Wire Wheel 100 spoke on my FXSTS. I got a deal on it from ebay as it came with the solid dish rim I was bidding on. If I had to choose another rim I would go with the Fat 50 spoke 21" rim. A lot less cleaning the spokes!

DNA Mammoth 52's are sweet. Similar to the Fatdaddy's mentioned above but about half the cost. Approx. $425.00 per wheel.
