Default 21" Wheel

Just a quick question for those in the know. Does a 21" wheel stuff into an FL fender and if so does it look wrong? Specifically in that the FL fender is really wide and a 21" rim and tire isn't.

The 21" wheel fits under the Deluxe and Heritage fenders nicely without modifications. I was told that Metzlers don't expand much and neither do Avons, so they work well. A trick is to get the width you are comfortable with as a 2.15 wheel may create more of a handling problem versus a 3.5 wheel despite having the same tire on them.

After looking at a bunch of Deluxe's with the 21" wheel I'm not so sure it'd work on my Fatboy.

Has anyone tried a 19" wheel off of a Dyna?

Mine is a Fat Boy 21x3.5 w/120 Metzeler. Running a Klockwerks aftermarket front fender... If you're wondering how does the Fat Boy stock front fender looks on top of a 21", doesn't look right... JMHO.



Mimo.

Fatboy + 21" wheel = Rockstar.

Fatboy + 19" wheel = Yukky.

Sloptails are 16" or 21" bikes. 19" do not look right on these bikes IMO.

Look at the bikes above....Mang that chit is banging!!
