2011 FXS Blackline wide front tire
I saw a blackline on a "burleigh bars for blackline" video, that had a wide front tire. Anyone else seen this video that may be able to help me make this happen on my scoot? I love the 21" with the skinny tire, but my lady would feel more comfortable with a little more rubber licking the pavement.
Thanks in advance

Hey...my bike is a 2011 Blackline (of whatever is left of it LOL ) ... my front wheel is the 9 spoke wagon wheel from a touring bike.. the Blackline comes with a wide triple tree... so any wide wheel works.. even a rear wheel works... the only difference is that a rear wheel has different hole/threads on each side... the pulley bolts are thicker... so if you plan on going with double brake disks in the future... then you must use a front wide wheel...

My bike originally had a 21" wheel and skinny tire on the front too. I prefer the look of the fatter tire so made the switch as well. Just like Joebotics said..... It's an easy swap.
