Hi guys!!! I got a question, I have seen a lot of people putting a 21" wheel on their heritage, so I would like to try it on mine just to see how it would look, I have a 94 flstn special "nostalgia" and a 2000 1200 sporty "bobber" with thw white walls, so I was thinking can I put the 21" of my sporty on the heritage??
I try looking for that answer but couldn't find it.
Thank you so much for ya time!!!!

 

Is the sporty a narrow glide or a wide glide? the heritage will be a wide glide so you will need to either buy or make up the spacers needed to run a narrow wheel on a wide front end, i believe the axles are the same (3/4") apart from that it should work.

If you just want to see if it looks ok before you buy a wheel then the above wont matter, just stick it on and see what you think.

 

Thank you ChopperNeil, I guess I can try it and maybe I can used the spacers from the heritage and sporty combine,and see if it works and maybe I can take it around the block.
Thanks again for you help and time!!!

 

hey FES, I've got the same bike as you and have been thinkin about a 21. Take some pix of it when you get that wheel on so we can see what it looks like!

 

Yeah, I 'll probably do it this weekand,creatv1 how you like your bike any problems with it, any thing I sould know about it? I only had mine for like 4 months, and so far I just change the makuni to an ss super e and I just change the rear tire. oh !! and I added the bigger saddle bags, I'm gonna install the 16" choby ones, I got the apes,I'm just working on geting the cable and wire kit.

 

FES, I've had mine for about a year and a half now. Bought it with 7,000 miles on it, bone stock, and have put almost 4,000 on it now. No problems whatsoever. Typical Evo-- not gonna win any drag races for will prob run for a good long time if taken care of. Haven't done any performance mods but lot's of cosmetic stuff.

The only challenge is finding parts/accessories, since it's kind of a weird bike-- half Heritage, half Fat Boy, and most off-the-shelf stuff needs a little modification to fit. Even the parts guys at my local HD call it a Deluxe when I tell them I need "XXXX" for a 94 FLSTN. I've stopped correcting them...

But I can't believe all the random compliments from strangers. Seems like I can't go anywhere without someone gushing over the bike or wanting to take pix of it, which is fun. I really like this bike and wouldn't trade it for anything, but I'd like to some time in the future get another bike, prob a RK for long rides and something else to work on. Here's a more recent pic. Enjoy your bike-- it really is "Special".

 

WOW!!!! That's beautiful, I love the nacelle, pipes and air suspenssion!!!
Man I realy love you bike!!!!

 

Thanks FES. Just did the pipes and shotgun shock a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm really jonesing for some ridin' weather... it's sunny but 32 degrees here today. Might have to bundle up and get out for a little while!

 

creatv1.....that thing is SPECTACULAR!!

IF I was ever going to sell the FXR I'd want something just like yours

just a beautiful bike

 

Agreed! The Moo Glide and the Nostalgia are definitely two of my favorite Softails.
