Default 21" front wheel on CROSSBONES

Well, finaly got my wheel. Went with a 120 tire but will definatly get a 140 for the replacement. In the process of extending the factory fender mount, it will be complete and back on in a week or two.. after powder coating.. now just need a custom leather shop to order a one off seat and solo bag from.

You probably posted this some where, but what brand wheel is that? It looks like a perfect match to the factory rear?

Well, its a DNA wheel, 60 spoke. the factory is 40, but with the larger diameter, the 40 would look too spread out. I had the company i bought it from mount the tire and check for leaks... like most DNA's it leaked, so they re-sealed it and now its ****!

I'd stay with the 120. It looks great, and proportioned.... IMO, I think a 140 on a 21" is too much.
