Opinions split 50/50

I am having back surgery next week so first mod will be a Mustang wide studded solo seat followed by Progressive suspension and front lowering springs.Then i can look at possibly going the 21" front wheel.

Will keep you posted and Looking forward to seeing Mimo's bike completed,very happy for you bro,exciting times......

Put one on my 97 Heritage. No other mods needed, just put the wheel and tire on and off I went. Same ride IMO, I notice no differance, except the looks it gets..

Here goes my friends 06 Deluxe with a Fat Daddy 50 spoke 21" on the stock fender. He said it is the 3.5" wide rim but I think it is the 2.15" rim. Anyway it looks awesome on the bike.

Thanks

Thanks Highbars,looks great on your mates bike.Any chance of finding out what sort of tyre he is running on the front as i will need a 21" whitewall and there doesnt appear to be a huge selection.Ideally would need brand and size.

Cheers bud.

Moggsy I ordered that same set up from Hog Pro but with black powder coated spokes. It should be in the second week of December. I'll keep you posted.

Im going with the 3" rims mh90 avons. I've seen the 3,5" with the white wall avon and its too much of a stretch for that rim. I really dont think its safe at all but alot of guys are using that setup. I'll post pic's once its installed.
