Hey guys, I'm lookin at replacing my xbonz front wheel with either an 18" or a 21"
I would like to also run without a front fender, and of course I would like to make it as simple a change over as possible. Any thoughts or concerns from those of you that have done it???

 

21" definitely, if you plan on running without a front fender then you possibly could go up to 23" if you wanted to

 

My vote is a 21. See sig

 

I was gonna say 18, but after seeing the signature above, I would def go 21"

 

I sent my front fender to thug customs to massage it to fit. Let me just say it was pricey and to do over I would have got a welder to lay 2 beads down. Basically they take your stock fender and remove the supports and rivets that go on top of the fender then reweld them underneath. It is suppose to fit a 21. I have not pursued it further as I like Rollin without a fender.

 

Thanks guys for the votes... Hey Milty your bike is sick and I was going to roll on an 18" until I saw yours. Did you have to do anything different up front to make that 21" work??? I'm hoping for plug and play if you know what I mean....

 

Nope. I will caution you, I have heard on here that you should change the lower rockers. I did not. I rode with the 21 on there as is just fine. I chose to throw the Burly spring lowering kit for aesthetics and it gave the front end the look I was after. The lowered springs makes things a little more rigid. I find it is very stable at highway speeds. The big 21/140 coupled with apes changes the ride, I find I push the bars into turns and it is very responsive.

 

I love this Cross Bones never get tired of looking at it.That 21 is straight up BAD ***.

 

Thanks man.

 

I'm still amazed that the Bone's didn't come with 21's from the factory. They seem the perfect wheel for the bike.
