RE: What size wheels for baggers
I run a 21" up front and the stock 16" on the rear. My bike is a 05' RK Custom. Love the way it looks and handling wasn't affected all that much. For me the rear didn't show enough to replace at this point but when the rear tire wears out I will replace the rear with a matching 18" tire and wheel.

RE: What size wheels for baggers
I want to do the same thing - upgrade my wheels & tires. Thinking 18/18 Hogpro Indy's - BUT, I also heard that going to a bigger wheel/tire will lower my load ratings. Is this true? If so, how much? I want better performance, but not at the expense of losing gvw ratings. I only weigh 190#, and my girl is 120# - we do load the bike's bagsfrom time to time when we head out for trips - so I am concerned about load ratings.
Please help.

18 x 4.25 and 160/60-18 Metzeler. This combo sometimes causes rubbing depending on the bike and wheel used, so we always recommend the 150.
