i am thinking about going to a 21inch wheel from a 19 front. Is there any difference in handling and is there any modification needed

 

I have a 03 FXD Superglide converted to stock wide glide with 21" love it

 

I re-laced my '07 Street Bob front hub from the original 19" wheel onto a 21" rim. Some people don't like the handling of the skinny front tire (90/90-21) but I've been completely happy with it. After I put a fat front end on my Street Bob, I installed the 21" wheel on my Superglide. Still liking it.

 

I was thinking going fatter because I like the look. Not sure about the handling

 

I like fat 21" too!!!

 

That bike just keeps looking shaper and sharper Blue

 

Yes, you are correct sir.

 

Check the availability of rims in 21 inch for your year and model of bike. If you have a mid-glide you may have to go to the skinny wheel as the tubes may not be wide enough for the hub and rotor. In that case you will need hub and rotor spacers. If you are going to lace your own that's a different story though.

 

Good information Jay, I haven't thought about looking into rim size for mid glides?
I have been pricing them, so now I have gotta make sure the stock thunderstar 19 will fit properly? The spacers I've looked into are for the 21 inch front wheel....

But more bars and wider front end bike will be done

 

Ditto...Great guy with lot's of knowledge and willing to help....And a great looking bike!!
There,s a lot of good people here on this forum.
