Why do you want that "trendy" crap? It ain't gonna ride well at all after that!

Dickey understands cool. Dickey DOESN'T understand why people ruin good looking & riding baggers & Deluxes with a 21" wheel that obviously DOES NOT look right with an FL style front end or fender,and will not ride like the stock 16".
Dickey also marches to the beat of his own drummer,and has never understood "trendiness". Like, why some people do some of the horrificly ugly things they do to a bike,(or their person)all because "it's the latest rage!".

That's why it's almost 2012, and Dickey still has a 1969 haircut. And a cell phone that doesn't even have a camera. And will till the day I croak.

But it's his bike,and I will fight to the death for his right to screw it up any way he wants to. I was just offering a little friendly advice.

BTW You what is the ultimate in cool? Doing what you want no matter how out of style or against the grain it goes!

I don't give a crap what's trendy or in style if you like it do it.
I love the 21" and 18"
How many Harleys have stock wheels??
Way more than have 21" it's different that's why I like it

You will use a 120/70-21 front and a 150/70-18 rear.
