Anyone put WG trees on Street Bob and not done 21" front wheel?
I know this topic has been kicked around a bit but almost every SB-WG conversion I have seen resulted in a 21" front wheel. I am looking for pictures/stories from people who have done some other type of front wheel (stock 19, 17, 16, etc). Anyone know of any of those types of conversions?
Not running a Wide Glide tree, just a Fat Bob tree on my Street Bob. I have a 21" up front. When I get back home, I will be in the works of changing the front and rear wheels over to 16" to give it a more classic look and hopefully a better touring feel.

Can't wait to see how that turns out for you. Please post. When are you coming home? Thanks for serving, btw.

Currently, (well, soon.. I have the parts..need more cash.. lol ) will be lacing a WG hub to a 17x3.5 rim off an older Harley. Need to rechrome the rim first... as part of my fat-front conversion.

I served a great many moons ago, currently still do work to support my brothers and sisters in arms. I should be back home in little over a month. However, it is going to be a little while, still waiting on a correct hub for the rear wheel. Then I have to lace it, true both it and the front wheel then get the tires to mount. Hoping I'll have it done by July.

Fat front? ...as in...fat fork tins/coves or fat/bob front end?
