board tracker
I am thinking about buying an 84 sporty and turning it into a board track racer type thing. I don't want to argue lingo. Basically I want to put a 21 inch wheel on the back of the bike. How big a hassle is this? Thanks for your expertise.
If you use a sprotor chain/brake rotor deal and a 21 from the front of a wide glide it isn't that big of a deal. You may need to stretch the swingarm a bit if you want it low...but if the swingarm is level with the ground I think it'll go.
There are a couple guys in Hawaii with 26" front & rear wheels.
If you want it easy on the wallet you'll need to run a 4" rear tire (board track style) and you'll be able to fit a front fender on the rear. I mocked one up a while back with 19's front & rear. It was cool but the width of the stock swingarm made it silly looking. I think it would've taken a skinny hardtail to make it look cool.
