does anyone know off hand if the wheel sizes on a 2011 roadking classic
and the 11 roadking have the same size rims ...I am looking in getting chromed roadking wheels for my classic and want to mount the original
tires on the new rims...it seems to me I read somewhere they are different, but don't have the manual here at work...

 

The rear tire is the same, the front is different. The RKC is 16" wheel up front where the RK is a 17 inch.

 

thanks, for the info..I thought I remembered something like that...but it will still work for me as the front tire is on its last leg anyway

 

I just swapped spoked rims on my '09 classic to chrome knuckles. No more WWW's when I went to 17" front wheel. Thin whites now. Was time for a change now I gotta change my sig pic.

Yes RK is 17" and RKC is 16" fronts. Only tire company I've seen that offers a WWW in 17 is Shinko model 777 tire. Chrome knuckles seems like an attractive option to spokes for RK/RKC.

I'm feeling it's time for a change too. I'm considering picking up a set of non-profile RKC rims (mine are profile) or knuckles to powder coat black. Gotta change it up once in a while

 

Here are a couple pics. If Your ODD like me (Obsessed with Details Disorder) you change fenders and tank too. So now I have a new bike....a FLHR with all the mods I added to my old bike

If any of you guys are interested I have a set of knuckles with abs bearings that are just sitting in my garage. Pm me an offer if you'd like them. I never though of them being powder coated black but that does sound cool.
