RE: 120/70/21 for wideglide
Hello again ,One more ? how wide is the 120/70? I tried to figure it out on the Metzler web site but they don't list the width of the rubber just the rim width needed.Thanks

RE: 120/70/21 for wideglide
Man it looks bad andI want to do the mod myself.It just so happens I was having my front relaced anyway cause the spokes look like crud. I checked with jirehcycles about the 3.25 rim and they told me it is out of stock until sometime in April so does anyone else have any ideas where I can get a 3.25 rim ASAP? Thanks

The OP started this thread in Jan 2008. I bet he has it worked out by now.

all parts i used are for a 2010 fat bob
its all bolt on ! all ya need is
fat bob sliders ( second hand ) you can use your chrome cups and all fork internals
fat bob right hand caliper and bolts
fat bob brake master cylinder
dual brake line set up, the fat bob ones are too short !
dual disk hub
2 front disks, (you could use your original disk and get 1 more the same)
got the front wheel from HDW, they make bolt on spoke rims already for the fat bob !
i just used the front fat bob hub from them laced to a 21/3.5 rim
front axel, spacers, and all other bits used are my existing wide glide parts with abit of black paint !
all i need is a front guard to complete it ! raining season here now and i have to highway drive
where ever i go north or south , so i really need a front guard !
i got 60 fat spoke wheels for front and back with a 18/5.5 rim, but what you get is what ever you feel happy with !

Ive been waiting for my tires to wear out to do this tire size switch myself. Only Ill keep the single disk setup. Will wait to see what you come up with for a front fender. The original wouldnt work i guess. Ive heard some say they will.
