Default 18-16 wheel combo on a Heritage
Does anyone have pictures of a 18" front wheel with a 16" rear on a Heritage? I ordered a new set of wheels for the wife's Heritage with black powder coated rim and hub with 60 twisted spokes and was curious if anybody else had gone with this same set up. I didn't want to go with a 21x18 because she is only 5'2" and may experance a little trouble getting her feet on the ground good.

This is the bike they are going on

Here are a couple of pictures for you. The front is a 18x3.5 Renegade Phoenix and the rear is a 16x3 Harley Solid chrome. Hope this helps you. It looks better in person than it does in the pictures to me.

Renegade Wheels. I have the Phoenix 18X3.5 with a 130/70-18 Dunlop E3 tire and dyna beads for balance. No weights on the wheel for a very clean look.

Finally got the new wheels on the bike yesterday. Very happy with the look and ride with the Metzler tires on it versus the dunnies. Next up is to put a Baddad front lowered fender on it and she should be done....I hope

Man it looks good. Also like the chrome swingarm and oil bag.

If you don't mind what size and brand bars are those? I have a wild hair to change mine.
