Pimp my Ride
I just procured 21's for my ride from a friends SG. Got a killer deal that couldnt pass. Matching rotors, Metzlers and wheels for under a grand.....Thats what I said....Changed the whole look of my old scooter. 21's rides much better than stock 16's. Did a trip to the dragon mid July, handled great and with the wife unit telling me to slow down. Good luck, D

a 21" / 17" setup on Harleys is very common and we actually recommend those sizes for 2009-UP Touring Models!!!

Running the stock size rear on a 2015 Street Glide Special will throw off your ABS if you run a 21" wheel. You'll either need to:
1) Run a 130/60/21 Dunlop Breakout Tire
2) Use an ABS Correction Module
3) Go with a 21"/17" or 18" set up
People tend to like the 21/17" set up the most since with that 17" you can run a 200mm tire!

Ok. I think I have this all figured out now. Lol.
So for a 21 with a nice amount of rubber so I can really ride, go with a 120/70/21.
Switch my back wheel to a 17 inch wheel and get a 200/?/17 tire. (What would the middle number be?)
Would i still need to lower the front end so the headlight will be level? And by doing this I won't have any abs issue correct? And I'm thinking I should do a 21x3.5 on the front and what would the rear 17 be in diameter?
Thanks a ton for the help
