RE: New Rider
Thanks for all the greets. I am stoked! We went out and he fired it up for me and rode it around a bit so I can see/hear it. I am so ready. A buddy of mine also rode it, he is a metric owner, but he was willing to let me know his inputs, all good, he said he was going to have to figure out how to tell his wife, he wants a Harley now.
I sat on it and already have my first Harley Rasberry.. pipes are hot.. shorts no good.. lol.. I am going to have to get a picture of this.. lesson learned. I know I wasn't riding it, so I didn't wear jeans. Its over a hundred here in Vegas already.
Here is the wheel I am looking at buying, don't even own it yet and I am upgrading

RE: New Rider
Beautiful rides everyone!
First Question:
The back wheels and the front wheels.. same? Different sizes? I am looking at those wheels and they have a 21" front and a 17" back. Does that sound right. I found the rear one on Ebay.
Thanks!
Joe

Cool, thanks, a friend of mine was looking at it and said had to watch for clearance.. he did some research and for an 03 FXDWG, he said Looks likeI would be safe with 19 inch fronts and 16 inch rears. I am going to measure what the owner has on there now and go from there.
