Wheels for the deuce
I am thinking about buying some new wheels for my 06 Deuce...Do most of you guys go with different size then the 21 up front or what?

RE: Wheels for the deuce
I didn't put a custom wheel up front on mine. I just changed the spokes out. If I was going to put a new wheel up front, I would probably stickwith the 21". On the rear, I would go up to an 18".

RE: Wheels for the deuce
I changed both of my stock rims out. Replaced the rear with an Arlen Ness Evil 7 18"x5.5" running a 200mm Metz and got the matching 21"x2.15" for the front. Re-used the OEM rubber on the front. Both front a rear needed hub adapters and the rear also needed a changeover drive belt that is thinner (by about 1/8" i think) than standard.
I figured if I was going to spend money changing out the rear rim and i didn't go with the 200mm i would end up looking at it over time and thinking why, why why? The rim costs for the 200mm as opposed to the 160mm was negligible, extra cost was in changing over the belt. I'm glad i opted for the 200mm in the end, it has fattened up the **** end nicely (see gallery)

I have the PM Hooligans on my Deuce and put a 21" back on the front and an 18 x 5.5 with a 200 Avon on the rear plus the matching pulley and rotors. Really looks nice and the 200 fills out the rear fender perfect. If you're going to do it, go all the way while you're spending the money. I originally had the Hooligan on the front and a spoker on the rear and just couldn't take it any longer!
