This is true Stephen (Ice Cold Deluxe) a member here ran the numbers.He has not been active for a while though. There was a thread with what he came up with. I will try to find it. If memory serves me correct it only came out to like a 1/4 " higher in the rear.
It all depends on what you like (more wheel 18 )or (more WW 16). The extra 1/4 " actually helps me out with the 39 Cholos . It the difference between scraping and that was close lol.

With the 16 or 18 rear, that's what I thought was the primary difference, the amount of visible spoke. One other consideration is the width of the white which is going to be of course significantly less on the 18" and to be exact, the DB WW is only 1 3/16" wide.
I've got the numbers at home and will post them when I get home later, just couldn't remember them right off hand and thought I'd that info out there for now.

spoke to Drew quickly regarding dropping the front end. He ran his 21 stock for 4 years before dropping it. So it should not be a problem out of the gate. I'll see how she feels. I can always drop her later. I also already have the Ricor's in and that made a huge diff. in the ride. Much smoother up front.

I've always had my eye on these rims ever since seeing it in Baggers. I'm going to call them tomorrow just to see what they quote for a 19" front wheel, if they mfg one, with dual rotors. Don't really want to lower the front shocks if I go to a 21" and lose some of the touring handling maneuverability of my RG.
Did they say anything about abs bearings? I would just have my rear 28 spoke knuckles stock rim chromed....for now.
BTW, guys, your Softails are sick!!!

I did not inquire about abs bearings since my softail does not come equipped with ABS brakes, sorry.
I will be posting a $hit load of pix once I get them. As per our conversation last week, Primo said that they are on schedule and should be shipping by the end of this week or by next week the latest. Keep my fingers crossed.
I appreciate the kinds words too. Thx man.
What part of NJ you from? Im in monmouth county.
