Metzeler Low Profile front tire question?
I just switched my narrow glide front end to a wide glide front end on my 96 FXDL. I am now putting a 21 X 2.15 front wheel on the bike and want to run a Metzeler low profile tire. I'm not sure which would be the proper tireeven from looking at the website. I want to run the Marathon 880's as this is what I think most of you all have spoke about.
Is there any way to determine a low profile tire from a regular tire? Thanks

21" front tires come in either the 80/90/21, 90/90/21 or the 120/70/21 sizes.
Your 2.15x21" front rim is designed for 90/90/21 size tires. You would need a wider rim for the uncommon 120/70/21 tire size.

I am thinking about going 21" in the front. Not sure I want to swap out
the whole front end, but would like to see what it looks like on your
FXDL.
