WOW!! I think I just talked myself into a 21". Maybe I just dont know enough about it but couldnt you just order the trees for the 7 degree rake from jp cycle for $500 or is there more to it than that? I guess you would have to rake out a 23" also?

Going to a 26" I think its safer to go with something that is engineered specifically for our bikes. I'm around big wheel bikes a lot and you can really see the different in some that just throws it o,\n, to those that take the time to think it out. IMO

With that being said I do ride like a maniac! LOL
I'm on the fence tho. I got a 21x3.25 but still thinking 23" or maybe a really fat 21 on a wideglide.
HHI trees are cheaper in the $600 range made for rockers.
26" just got booted LOL

I personally hate the fact that you pay/paid so much $$$ for the FXCW/C & still HD does not give you billet wheels...
This made me to look for an aftermarket 21x2.15 front & 18x8.5 in the rear and the most of them were charging me 3.5k to 4k for an entire set (pulley/rotors & wheels)
The price that these guys quoted was ridiculous almost 20% of the bike.,hence I got into production mode..
I purchased wheels blanks from renegade wheels (3D blanks) and i'm making them in my friend's factory...
I'm looking at a ball park figure of 2750 for the whole set which is much better than what they quoted me & it is going to be one off design..
Will post a new thread once I completely finish making it

I think you gonna have to go with a neutral color. Something that compliments the blue. It's gonna be hard. Maybe just add to the blue? Remove the flames shave the badge from the tank. Maybe two tone with white. That's just me lol
