My front wheel is 19", the rear 18". No noticeable change in the ride or handling.



Your bike looks sweet!!

Both 21/17. And since the pic have added air ride and a wrapper front fender. Do what you like and can afford but for me I need it to match.

no pic of my new ones yet they are being made right now but umm I haven't seen one guy with a stock size rear wheel post. stock sg size is 16 by 5.5 . unless I cant read the dealer and ride wright rims is wrong. so does every sg year come with a different wheel size? I mean I have a 2012 are other years not the same? just asking because im seeing 17 inch and 18 inch rears which are not stock size. 06-08 comes with a 16'" by 3.0 on front and rear. 09 comes with 17"x3.0 front. and 10-13 comes with 18"x 3.0 front and a 16" x 5.0" rear.


so I guess my question is why change the rear size ? I have a 16"x 5.5" rear and a 21" x 3.5" being made and im putting in a progressize mono shock drop kit. is it to avoid the drop kit ?
