Default Front wheel/swap questions

I have a 2016 wide glide with abs. I知 wanting to get rid of the ugly stock 21x2.15 and go to a 21x3.5 or even 23. So I知 wondering what Harley models also fit my bike as far as rotors and calipers matching. Spacer shouldn稚 be a problem I値l machine on if need be. So what brands work that are not Harley. Looking to stay spokes

That looks really good and what I知 looking for, what did that run cost? And does it come with spacers? And also how do you like that seat? I love the look but read they are uncomfortable so I was leaning towards a le pera Daytona

The 3.25 rim is a drop center rim meaning just the hoop. I had it laced to my stock hub. If you go this way you will not have to mess with your wheel spacers or abs. You will have to buy new spokes as it is a drop center rim. Stock 21 spokes are too long. It only comes in chrome ( but it is only $50 bucks) so you will have to have it dipped, etched and powder coated to match the back. I paid 100$ for powder coating.

The spokes are from bobs cycle supply in az. Great guy to deal with.

I went with the new 120/70/21 Avon cobra chrome. It is very low profile. Sometimes with this mode you have to adjust or get a wider fender . This is my stock fender. I think it will be fine.

The seat was uncomfortable at first but after some miles it breaks in and I like it.

One of the best mods I've done so far 3.25 x 21" to run a Avon 120/70/21"
