Default 2014 Tri-Glide wheels, 17" front & 16" rear

Does anyone know if the new larger front and rear wheels on the 2014 Tri-Glide fit earlier Tri-Glide's?

On the MoCo site it says under Key Features that it has 17" Impeller® Front Wheel With New Brake Rotor Sitting out front on the Tri Glide® Ultra® model, you’ll notice a 17-inch cast aluminum, 10-spoke Impeller wheel. In the back you’ve got a couple of 16-inch Impeller wheels to match. There are new brake rotors designed to show off more of the premium custom look of the wheels. Because if you’re going to go this far, you might as well take it all the way.

But under Specs & Pricing it has:
Tires, Front Specification MT90B16 72HTires, Rear Specification P205/65R15.

Can anyone verify which size wheel the 2014 Tri Glide really has?

i don't know what you all are talking about,the harley site shows the specs on all 2014 bikes,the trike comes stock with the same setup as before.but i'm sure it can be changed if you throw enough money into it,i prefer the ride of a 16" front wheel over the 17" on anything not just a trike,but if you going for looks then thats a personal choice....

If you go to the key features on HD's site for the Triglide you will see where it mentions the 17" front wheel and brake rotors. It looks like one of the MoFoCo's web dweebs screwed the pooch when they put together the section for the Triglide, not much of a surprise coming from the MoFoCo. I've found many of parts that state they don't fit on the Triglide yet they fit and function just fine.

Yes, 16" Front, 15" Rear. Same as previous years.

Just picked one up Saturday. Played with pressures. Riding nice with 36 front, 25 rear, 30 in the shocks.
