Any recommendations on what wheels to go with would be greatly appreciated! Want to stick with a 21 up front and torn between xbones back (heard it looks to small from side view), or going with mammoth spokes 21 and 18.. Would like the back tire to look as bad a$$ as possible! I am not overly mechanically inclined

I stuck with the 17 on the rear. I had to get two rears when I was out on a trip, one due to a nail and the second due to wearing from riding hard in the mountains. Glad I stuck with the 17 cause the HD shops would have had to special order my tire.
Thanks for the reply.. those look like canadian rockies in the background?? Did you have trouble finding wheels in the 17" size? can you fit a 210 50 on there without issues? or did you run the stock 200

they are the German Alps, I was there for 3 years. I just stuck with the stock size tires, I run the Dunlap American Elite 200/55/17. I get pretty good mileage out of them, and have no issues riding in the rain. Held up really good on the German Autobahn.
I ordered the wheels from Performance Machine and had no issues with the size I wanted.
The pictures show what I have done so far! Shocks are off and lowering kit is going on today.
Up Next:
14" Wild1 Chubby Outlawz apes and 2.5" LA choppers gloss black risers going on today.
Going to have the bars, lower fork tubes, triple trees, and headlight housing powder coated gloss black this weekend.
Not sure if the fairing will go back on
DNA Mammoth 52 spoke fat wheels should be in within 2-3 weeks. 21" front and 18" rear with chrome spokes black rim and hub.
Side mount license plate going on this weekend! Have the V&H Big shots heat shields off with black wrap and silicone sprayed, custom slash tips with same OD as raw pipes with wrap being made next week!!
Kuryakyn Skelton Hand chrome mirror
Black Bullet style front and rear signals
Dark Purple small LED on back of the horn cover to create very small p
urple glow between the V-Twins
