no, but i like where your head's at...
i've thought about this quite a bit..
I WISH they made the Agitator rear in a 17...
or even better i wish ANYONE other then Moco made a 19 x 3.5" front wheel.....
I really like the 19" front, but don't like the 18" rear, would rather a 17/200 rear....

Those are our Outlaw wheels. Most people choose to go with a 21" as they are always either 3.25 or 3.5 wide as opposed to the 3" width of the 19. 18"'s come in a 3.5 width. So there are a bit narrower. the tire for the 19 is a 120 width whereas the tire for an 18 is a 130 width. Up until recently there were not any 130 width 21 tires but Harley has a 130/60/21 now.

Were it me trying to decide what to get it would have to be at least a 21 but possible a 23" as the visual impact of a larger wheel is so great.

There are so many combinations and everyone wants something different.

What is the biggest reason for wanting the 17 over the 18 in the rear just curious?

So they can run the wider 200mm tire

200mm tire for the 18" wheel is almost an inch taller than stock but the 200/55/17 is only 1/10th of an inch taller than stock.
