New chrome front meat is on the way.....maybe doing the rear with the same wheel if I like the looks of it. If not, soemone will buy it from me and I'll start over again.
I would also be interested inthis info. I'm ordering an 18x5.5
for my bike also and am wondering about tire size.....200/50-18 or 210/50-18?
I think Metzeler only makes a 200 (for this application)but am not sure about other tire makers.
18 x 5.5 200 tire. Issues when riding 2up was the seat bolt rubbing out the center of the wheel.
Also, I have it dropped all the way down with the HD lowering bolts, I think it is a 2 inch drop. Will eventually go with the progressive 422s for easier adjustments and better ride quality.
