So,, I haven't ridden in like 20 years.. I'm buying a rocker c.... I'm thinking I might like to change the front tire to be wider.. so that creases or level changes in the road are less of a hazard..

How to I figure out how wide of a front tire I can put on it.. or what all would be involved.. do I have to get that done at harley because of the warranty? what kind of price am I looking at.. ? I'm thinking about twice as wide as it is from the factory .. or something like that.. probably not as wide as the rear tire..

??

 

You would probably be looking at a lot of work on that one! Twice as wide as stock (I'm measuring from my couch here) would most likely require a wide glide front end. The Rocker uses a "mid glide" as stock. A wider front end would also require external steering stops or a different tank. Honestly the stock size tire doesn't seem too bad. I only notice an issue in roads that have had the top surface ground off or noticeable large grooves in the surface.

 

I'd think that big a front wheel would require a fork brace and beefier fork springs.
The stock tire isn't as narrow as a stock FXST/C or FXWG's 21" and my FXSTC doesn't track the grooves once I got rid of the stock "ribbed" tire.

I've had no problems with the stock or now 21" on my FXCWC following grooves left in the roads.

 

I have 21 x 3.5 with a 120/70 tyre on it

 

Nice Rocker HarleyMartin.

 

It comes stock with a 90/90/19 on the front. I ran 2 metzler 100/90/19 up front and it fits with no changes and rides great. The 90/90 dunlop rode good also, the metz maybe a hair better. I just went back to the 90/90 dunlop for the looks. Bigger than 100/90 and you have to do some changes per some of the other folks on here.

 

hi i know it’s been a while since this post but I would like to know if you used your stock tree and forks to run that size tire?

 

Yes, I run a 21"x 3.5" with a 120mm tire on my Rocker with the stock narrow glide front end. You will need to change the spacers, and modify or replace the fender unless you're going without...

 

thank you for your quick reply 🤙🏼 You are Using wide glide triple tree,not the stock rocker c triple trees correct?

 

No, I have the stock trees. You can check out my Rocker thread below, it has all the info.
