Let us know how you like it. I am curios because I had the legend installed in the front and was not happy but it may have been an install error as the ( TECH) may not have adjusted them for my weight. I had them removed and had ohlins installed I am happy again.

It's snowing and cold out and I can't ride so I took the opportunity to follow in FLS-103's footsteps. I swapped my stock 16" front wheel with a 19" Talon take off from a 2019 Street Glide Special. As he reported it is a direct swap and fit with no modifications needed.

I haven't taken it for a ride yet due to freezing temps and wet/icy roads but DAMN it looks bad ***! Can't wait to try it out!

You beat me by seconds in the classified the other day on that wheel!!

I had two I almost got, but missed them both!

Haven't tried mine yet, since I don't have two lifts.

Looks good man.

Thanks. I'm not sure if it's the same wheel. I got it on 2/5 from a guy on Facebook, but if it is I'm glad I beat you to it! I missed one on here about a month ago. It was the wheel, tire, rotors and bearings with a few hundred miles on them.

The guy offered to sell it to me for 475 shipped but I didn't have the cash to jump on it at that exact moment. Needless to say it sold within a few hours of being posted.

I love how that looks, but I think my OCD brain would hate having two different wheels front and back. That front talon is sick on the FB though.

I don't mind it. You can't really see the rear wheel anyway. I will be matching the tires soon when my rear needs to be replaced but for now it will work as is.

Yeah that rear wheel is pretty well covered up. Hope you get a break in the weather to get a ride in!

So I’ve rode a couple hundred miles with the Dougz Custom - Design Studio Spartan Mini with SixUp Prototype windscreen in this Michigan winter and I’m loving every minute of it. Check out my short review. Moto Vlogs in the future??
