Default Quick question

90-90/21 standard on 05 1200. Next wider size 100-90/21 should still fit on 21x2.15 spoked front wheel? Help need to get on order

I think the '05 Customs came with MH90-21, which are the 90/90-21. Many mfg recommend 1.85-2.50" rims for those. Hope that helps.

When thinking of changing away from a stock tyre size it is wise to check your preferred tyre brand's website, for rim fit. What brand are you thinking of?

My stock was a 19X2.15 with 100/90-19. I changed my wheel to a 21X2.15 and installed a 90/90-21 so it would still fit in the stock fender. So your wider tire should still fit on a 2.15 rim
