Default Wheel size question
On a '00 Fatboy:
Has anyone considered going to an 18x 3.5" front and leaving the 16x3.5" in the rear? I like the look of the open wheel (much as possible) in the front and a solid chrome disk in the back. Any concerns out there that I should be aware of? How will this affect the ride?
Thoughts?

Default RE: Wheel size question
You can put 18x3 on the front. You may need to change the front fender, but I'm exactly possitive about that.
